A convoy of 400 trucks carrying food, fuel and medical supplies, is crossing the Egyptian side of Rafah crossing on Wednesday, the Egyptian Red Crescent said.
The entrance of humanitarian aid to Gaza was paused for the past two days due to the prisoner and hostage exchange on Monday and a Jewish holiday Tuesday.
The convoy includes 5,700 tons food supplies and flour; 1,400 tons of medical supplies and about 2,500 tons of fuel, according to the Egyptian Red Crescent.
Egypt’s state-run Al-Qahera News television broadcasted footage of trucks crossing the Egyptian gate of the Rafah crossing Wednesday.
The trucks were heading for an Israeli inspection area in the Kerem Shalom crossing before being allowed into Gaza Strip.
The Israeli defense body overseeing humanitarian aid in Gaza, COGAT, notified humanitarian organizations a day earlier that it would allow into Gaza only half of the 600 daily aid trucks called for under the deal.
It was not immediately clear whether it was following through on the threat.
COGAT declined to comment on the number of trucks expected to enter Gaza on Wednesday.
