A convoy of 17 trucks bringing aid to besieged Palestinians crossed into Gaza on Sunday, Egypt’s state-run media reported.
The delivery would be the second shipment into the territory in the past two days.
Residents of Gaza have been under an Israeli blockade that cut off food, water, medicine and electricity since Hamas militants rampaged through southern Israel on Oct. 7.
The more than 2 million residents of the territory have been struggling under Israeli airstrikes and with dwindling resources since then.
Magdy reported from Cairo and Krauss from Jerusalem. Associated Press journalists Amy Teibel in Jerusalem; Samya Kullab in Baghdad; Bassem Mroue in Beirut and Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, contributed to this report.
