UNITED NATIONS: More than 630 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council, with at least 300 of those trucks going to the enclave’s north, where the UN says famine looms.
The trucks entered on the first day of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas.
Meanwhile, Palestinians returning to their homes in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah after the ceasefire found homes and neighbourhoods flattened after eight months of Israel’s military offensive.
“We found destruction, destruction,” said Mohamed Abu al-Kheir, a Palestinian man who shelters in a tent in the city of Khan Younis. “There is nothing to live in. There is no furniture.”
