The first truckload of humanitarian aid from Turkey arrived, Monday afternoon, at the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Gaza, after it was unloaded from a Turkish ship in the port of Ashdod. It contained teddy bears, other dolls and diapers in cartons bearing the Turkish flag.
The staff of the Crossings Authority and the office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories unpacked the truck and prepared it for transfer to the Hamas-ruled area.
