Israel continues its attacks on Gaza. Many children have lost their lives in attacks where civilians were targeted. Israel, which has been criticized for targeting humanitarian aid intended for Gaza, could not withstand the pressure this time and allowed 50 trucks of humanitarian aid.
In a statement from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), an Israeli military unit, it was stated that 50 trucks of humanitarian aid from Jordan were sent to northern Gaza.
It was stated that the humanitarian aid included food, water, medical supplies, and shelter items.
According to the United Nations (UN), Israel had not allowed the passage of humanitarian aid to northern Gaza since October 1.
This was the first humanitarian aid sent in October to northern Gaza, where Israel continues its intense attacks and approximately 400 thousand people are trapped.
It is noteworthy that Israel's decision to allow even a small amount of humanitarian aid into northern Gaza came after pressure from the US administration on Tel Aviv.
US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller stated in a briefing yesterday that they had asked the Israeli government to "take action to improve" the humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days.
In addition, it was revealed that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had written a letter to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer expressing their concerns regarding the levels of humanitarian aid reaching Gaza.
