Flour being distributed after 6 aid trucks arrive in northern Gaza

Gaza’s Civil Defence spokesman, Mahmoud Basal, spoke to Al Jazeera about the entry of aid trucks into northern Gaza.

Here are the main points from his interview:

  • Six trucks arrived in northern Gaza and have been secured at UNRWA centres.
  • The distribution of bags of flour has begun but they are not enough for Gaza City and the north.
  • We expect aid to enter every day, but the Israeli forces’ measures hinder this.
  • Those who distribute aid are members of some known families and tribes.
  • More than 400 people have been killed while waiting for aid in the Gaza Strip.
