Huge aid influx today into Gaza

30.12.08

110 trucks will either be going into or coming out of Gaza today through Kerem Shalom. That’s the first export from Gaza in at least a month.
In the imports:

All the trucks currently in the queue, including:

1 truck of medicine and medical equipment from Medecins Sans Frontieres to their local staff
1 truck of medicine and medical equipment from USAID to their centre
2 trucks of medicine and medical equipment from international charities
2 trucks of medicine and medical equipment from WHO to their centre
6 trucks of medicine and medical equipment, plus animal fodder, from ICRC to their centre

2 trucks of flour from Egypt
10 trucks of animal fodder, barley and rice from international charities
13 trucks of medical equipment from Jordan (that’s a total 29 trucks in the last two days)
15 trucks of wheat, flour and energy bars (no joke) from WFP
23 trucks of milk, rice, sugar and oil from UNRWA to their distribution centres
34 trucks of flour, sugar, rice and oil from international charities

That’s a total 110 trucks through Kerem Shalom
On average we see 24.5 tons per truck so that’s 2695 tons.

Plus
The contents of the aborted Qatari ship voyage are also arriving by truck today
And a planeload of ICRC aid is arriving at Tel Aviv later today from Geneva and will probably go in tomorrow.

In the exports:
There will be a Gazan export convoy later today. No details on what’s in it yet, more soon.
