More than 10,000 aid trucks have crossed into Gaza since a fragile ceasefire took hold on January 19, the United Nations humanitarian chief has said, AFP reports.

“We’ve moved over 10,000 trucks in the two weeks since the ceasefire, a massive surge,” Tom Fletcher said on X.

The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator added that he himself was “about to cross into northern Gaza with a convoy of aid”.

“Thank you to the many people making it possible to get these trucks of vital, lifesaving food, medicine and tents through,” he said.
