GENEVA, Jan 19, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered 
Gaza on Sunday after a truce between Israel and Hamas went into effect, the 
United Nations said.

"First trucks of supplies started entering" minutes after the ceasefire took 
effect on Sunday morning, UN aid official Jonathan Whittall, interim chief of 
the UN's OCHA aid agency for the Palestinian territories, said on X.

"A massive effort has been underway over the past days from humanitarian 
partners to load and prepare to distribute a surge of aid across all of 
Gaza."
