The Israeli military has blocked a truck hoping to deliver fuel to northern Gaza, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said on Tuesday afternoon.
The Israel Defense Forces are “denying the entry of the fuel truck which was supposed to enter the north of the Gaza Strip a few moments ago,” the PRCS claimed in a post on X, formerly Twitter, shortly before 11 a.m. ET.
CNN has reached out to Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) for comment.
The delivery of aid supplies to northern Gaza has been a sticking point in negotiations between Israel and Hamas. On Saturday, Hamas temporarily halted the handover of Israeli hostages, accusing Israel of failing to fulfill its commitments toward aid supply to northern Gaza.
The PRCS also said that according to records, as of Monday evening, 200 aid trucks have made their way to northern Gaza since the Israel-Hamas truce began on November 24.
The aid includes food, water, baby formula and blankets. The PRCS said the assistance benefits thousands of people in need.
