The first shipment of aid to the Gaza Strip was successfully delivered into Ashdod Port and then transferred to Gaza on Wednesday, as confirmed by the Israeli military. This aid delivery marks a significant step in providing much-needed assistance to the people of Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that eight World Food Programme (WFP) trucks carrying flour made their way into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing after undergoing inspection at Ashdod. This process ensures the safety and security of the aid being delivered.
Earlier this month, Israel announced its decision to facilitate aid deliveries through the port, demonstrating a commitment to supporting humanitarian efforts in the region. The move was met with approval from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who emphasized the importance of ensuring that aid reaches those in need throughout Gaza.
This development highlights the ongoing efforts to provide essential resources to the people of Gaza, particularly in the wake of recent challenges and conflicts in the region. The successful transfer of aid through Ashdod Port signifies a positive step towards addressing the humanitarian needs of the population in Gaza.
