Israel lets aid into Gaza after 11-week blockade but UN calls it 'drop in ocean'11 hours ago Share Save David Gritten BBC News Share SaveReuters Aid lorries were photographed arriving at the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing with southern Gaza on Monday morningIsrael says it has allowed five UN lorries carrying humanitarian aid, including baby food, into the Gaza Strip after 11 weeks of blockade. The Israeli military said it struck "Hamas terrorists" who were operating inside a command-and-control centre in the area. Israel stopped all deliveries of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies to Gaza on 2 March and resumed its military offensive two weeks later, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. Israeli officials said there was no shortage of aid because thousands of lorry loads had gone into Gaza during the ceasefire. In a joint statement, they said: "If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response."
