The ERC said the fuel was intended to operate hospitals and other vital facilities in Gaza. It reported maintaining logistics centers near the border and continuing to prepare and deliver aid.

The statement cited by SIS said cumulative deliveries had exceeded 1 million tonnes and more than 75,000 volunteers had taken part. These are the organization’s cumulative figures and should not be confused with the tonnage of this single convoy.
