On Friday morning, a temporary truce began in Gaza Strip between Palestinian factions and Israeli army.
Al Jazeera correspondent confirmed that about 100 trucks loaded with aid have entered the Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing, which represents about a fifth of Gaza Strip’s needs under normal circumestances.
The Palestinian death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has soared to 14,854, the government media office in the blockaded enclave said Thursday.
“The victims include 6,150 children and over 4,000 women, while more than 36,000 people have been injured.”
Around 7,000 people remain unaccounted for, including more than 4,700 children, the media office said.
This step represents an important humanitarian turning point in the current situation, as the truce seeks to improve the living conditions of civilians in Gaza, and reflects international efforts to alleviate their suffering.
