13 aid trucks roll into northern Gaza without incident
For the first time in months, a trickle of aid has arrived in northern Gaza without incident.
13 trucks delivered supplies including flour, to Jabalia and Gaza City.
Volunteers and community leaders co-ordinated with the UN to secure the entry of the convoy.
Aid organisations say this delivery is a test, to see if they can conduct more on Sunday.
A growing number of Palestinians are dying of hunger in the north, where the UN says famine is taking hold.
In northern Gaza, one in three children under the age of two is acutely malnourished – that’s according to the UN.
Some food parcels have been airdropped.
But it’s nowhere near enough to meet the needs of millions of Palestinians.
Al Jazeera’s Michael Appel reports.
Federico Dessi is the Middle East Director at the aid group ‘Humanity and Inclusion’.
He explains how aid delivery to Gaza could be increased.
