Seven additional trucks with fuel and cooking gas entered the Gaza Strip on Wednesday through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, a Palestinian official told Anadolu.

They were part of a batch of aid consisting of 200 relief trucks that brought the number of trucks to 1,200 that have entered the enclave since the start of a temporary humanitarian pause.

Wael Abu Mohsen, the media director on the Palestinian side of the crossing, said: "The aid includes four trucks loaded with gas, three trucks carrying fuel containing a total of 150,000 liters of diesel, along with trucks delivering water, food supplies, and medical supplies."

Since the initiation of a humanitarian cease-fire, a total of 1,000 aid trucks have effectively entered Gaza, with a consistent daily entry of 200 trucks, encompassing seven trucks specifically designated for fuel and cooking gas, according to an Anadolu correspondent.
