  • Elder said he and his team were prevented from delivering their aid shipment and forced to turn back that day.

    “We spent about eight or nine hours at military checkpoints. In the end, our truck, despite all the approvals, was denied access and returned … Yes, we will try again. Obviously, we’ll try again. But this is consistent with the denials that we and many other agencies have experienced,” Elder said.

    Israel has previously said that it allows hundreds of trucks carrying aid to enter Gaza daily, and the Israeli government has blamed the U.N. for failing to distribute it.

    Sounds like we can’t trust the IDF’s numbers on aid trucks being let in if they’re counting ones they initially let in and then forced to leave at a later checkpoint.
