Pause allowed record amounts of aid to reach Gaza: Kirby
The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas "has allowed for a surge of humanitarian assistance into Gaza," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby noted.

Two-hundred trucks were dispatched to Gaza on Sunday -- the biggest convoy of aid since Oct. 7, Kirby said. Over 2,000 trucks have now entered Gaza, he said.
With two more days now added to the cease-fire, there's "the chance for dozens more trucks, and tens of thousands of more gallons of fuel, that can get into Gaza to people in need," Kirby said. "We're going to take advantage of every hour of every day that there's a pause to try to help the people of Gaza."
