More than 1,100 truckloads of humanitarian aid are stuck on the Palestinian side of a Gaza border crossing, waiting for distribution.

An Israeli defense ministry agency responsible for coordinating aid deliveries said on July 10 that there were 1,150 trucks backed up at the Kerem Shalom crossing into the southern Gaza Strip.
