Seventeen aid trucks are preparing to enter Gaza via the Rafah crossing today, Sunday, becoming the second relief batch to enter the besieged enclave since the start of the Israeli escalation.

The head of the Egyptian Red Crescent branch in North Sinai, Khaled Zayed, confirmed that the trucks contain a quantity of medicines, medical supplies, and food.

On Saturday, the first batch of relief aid arrived in the enclave aboard 20 trucks, most of which carried medicines and food.

Additionally, the UN humanitarian coordinator, Martin Griffiths, called for a "facilitated inspection system," allowing for increased access of more aid to the besieged populations in Gaza this week, without delay.
