As Israel News Network Reports
This weeks gifts (aid), to Gaza.
While the Palestinian Authority continues its attempts to convince the world of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, last week alone the region received more than 12,000 tons of humanitarian aid, according to the IDF Coordinator of Government Affairs in the Territories. That didn't include the more than one million liters of fuel pumped into the region in the same period.

At the Kerem Shalom Crossing, which is open five days a week, 485 trucks bearing 8,853 tons of foodstuffs were delivered. Among the items on the list were legumes, fruits and vegetables, rice, cooking oil, meat, chicken and fish products, flour, dairy products, spices, sugar and mixed additional food products.

In addition, other merchandise included hygiene products, medicine and medical equipment, inputs to agriculture, cement, clothing and footwear, aggregates and various other essential humanitarian products.

At the Karni Conveyor, open on Tuesdays, 93 truckloads of various animal feeds totaling 3,154 tons of grains, were transferred into the region as well.
