The convoy, consisted of 200 trucks loaded with thousands of tons of urgent relief aid, including tents, blankets, mattresses and food supplies.

The Palestinian Water Authority announced yesterday that its crews have begun a rapid field survey of water and sewage facilities in northern Gaza.
The Water Authority said: ‘The current destruction has caused a complete collapse of the water supply system in northern Gaza, which has been suffering from a severe shortage of water over the past year, as it has decreased to very low rates of about three litres per day per person, in addition to the major losses incurred by the infrastructure with the collapse of the sewage pumping and treatment systems.’
- The Director of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, confirmed that Civil Defence crews collected more than 100 martyrs from the roads of the northern Gaza Strip, most of them are remains of unidentified persons yesterday.

Israel continues Jenin aggression!
THE Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) yesterday continued, for the second day running, its large-scale aggression against Jenin and its refugee camp, amid clashes with resistance fighters.
The IOF also continued to block all the entrances of Jenin camp as part of its tight siege on the area, amid ongoing drone overflights.
Renewed clashes broke out yesterday morning between resistance fighters and Israeli forces following a violent day in Jenin, where at least 10 Palestinian citizens were killed and about 100 others suffered injuries in relentless Israeli shooting and aerial attacks.
The attacks on Jenin camp forced at least 600 citizens to leave their homes.
Meanwhile, the resistance in Jenin continued to detonate explosive devices and open fire at IOF vehicles and soldiers.
Several Israeli soldiers were reportedly injured during the ongoing IOF campaign in Jenin.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army launched a large-scale military operation called the ‘Iron Wall’ in Jenin area and its refugee camp after ordering the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces to end their weeks-long raid in Jenin and withdraw from the area.
As part of their security cooperation with the Israeli army, PA forces stormed the medical centre in Ajjah village to look for and arrest any wounded citizen evacuated from Jenin City or its refugee camp.
PA soldiers also kidnapped Ahmed Abu Amireh, a senior commander of the Jenin Brigade, during a raid in Qabatiya town, south of Jenin.
