Israel has closed the major entry point for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza after a Palestinian armed group launched rockets at a military installation in southern Israel near the site, according to Al Jazeera.
The convoy comprises 13 trucks carrying a total of 272.5 tonnes of aid. These include 10 trucks carrying 16,800 food packages weighing 252 tonnes to support 84,000 people, and 3 trucks carrying 360 tents weighing 20.5 tonnes.
Gaza, home to over 2 million civilians, faces the ongoing threat of severe dehydration and starvation due to Israel's persistent bombardment and complete blockade.
