Four containers of diesel fuel and four containers of cooking gas were transferred from Egypt to United Nations humanitarian aid organizations in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, an Israeli government agency said.
Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said in a statement that the fuel passed through the Rafah crossing — the only crossing in and out of the enclave that is not controlled by Israel.
The aid trucks going into Gaza are part of the pause and the hostage-release framework agreed by Israel and Hamas, COGAT said.
“The fuel and cooking gas are designated for the operation of vital humanitarian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip,” it said.
In addition, 200 humanitarian aid trucks were transferred on Wednesday to the international aid organizations operating in the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing, COGAT said. Those trucks had to first go through a security check at the Nitzana crossing, it added.
The humanitarian aid trucks carried food, water, shelter equipment, and medical supplies.
