The first aid trucks have entered Gaza following nearly three months of Israel’s complete blockade, according to Israel and the United Nations.

Five trucks carrying aid, including baby food, entered the territory of more than two million Palestinians via the Kerem Shalom crossing on Monday, according to the Israeli defence body in charge of co-ordinating aid to Gaza.
