GAZA CITY, Palestine

About 150 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid, cooking gas and fuel entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday during the humanitarian pause between Israel and Hamas.

Wael Abu Mohsen, media director on the Palestinian side of the Rafah border, said the entry of other humanitarian aid is expected to continue in the coming hours.

A four-day humanitarian pause mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the US went into effect on Friday, temporarily halting Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Israel launched a massive military campaign in the Gaza Strip following an Oct. 7 cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas.

It has since killed at least 14,854 Palestinians, including 6,150 children and more than 4,000 women, according to health authorities in the enclave. The official Israeli death toll stands at 1,200.
