The World Food Programme says its aid trucks have begun crossing into Gaza via the Zikim and Kerem Shalom crossings. The agency says its trucks are carrying wheat flour and ready-to-eat food parcels.

In a statement, the WFP says it “aims to deliver food daily along humanitarian corridors that include Egypt, Jordan and Israel crossing points. This ceasefire is critical for the humanitarian response. Safety, and access must be ensured.”

The WFO, a UN humanitarian organisation, has called for all border crossings to open in order for it to safely move food into Gaza. It has called for security teams for its members and convoys. “We need more humanitarian staff allowed into Gaza,” it says. “And we need urgent funding to reach everyone in need, quickly.”
