A convoy carrying food was coordinated to the northern Gaza Strip. Over the last few days, more than 100 trucks were transferred to the northern region. In the past week, 302 packages carrying humanitarian aid were airdropped over Gaza. On the same day (March 4), 91 foreign nationals successfully exited the Gaza Strip.
Fuel and Gas Imports
Also yesterday, four tankers of cooking gas and three tankers of fuel designated for the operation of essential infrastructure in Gaza were allowed to enter the Gaza Strip. Notably, a United Arab Emirates floating hospital docked at the El-Arish port on February 22 and has begun receiving Gazan patients for treatment.
Bakeries and Bread Production
Currently, 20 bakeries are operational in Gaza, providing over 2.5 million breads, rolls, and pita breads daily for the local population. Over the last two weeks, the number of operational bakeries has increased from 10 to 12, then to 15, and now to 20, following the facilitation from COGAT.
