Finally, a trickle of aid has crossed over.

In recent days, almost 400 trucks were cleared for entry to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.

But supplies from only 115 trucks have been able to be collected.

And nothing has reached the besieged north.

We are working around the clock to get whatever aid we can to people in need.

And we managed to distribute some wheat flour, baby food, nutrition supplements and medicines.

At long last, a few bakeries in south and central Gaza are operating.

But let us not forget that we are operating in the middle of a military operation.

In any case, all the aid authorized until now amounts to a teaspoon of aid when a flood of assistance is required.
