It is an increase compared to the day before, when 320 trucks are reported to have been let in through the border crossings Kerem Shalom and Zikim. But it is not enough for the starving population of the Palestinian area – the UN has previously calculated that at least 600 trucks per day are needed to cover the needs of food, water and other necessities.
It is still a big difference compared to large parts of this year, when Israel in the spring maintained a total blockade of all aid deliveries.
In addition to the trucks, aid is now also being dropped from airplanes over the war zones. But it is a very inefficient method. On Wednesday, countries such as Jordan, Germany and Italy released 119 pallets, according to Cogat. However, this corresponds to only 4-6 trucks, writes The Times of Israel.
