Aid Enters Gaza as Pressure Mounts on Israel to Ease Blockade
After a long wait, some aid is finally getting into Gaza.
The UN sent trucks with supplies, the first delivery since March.
This happened because countries around the world were pushing Israel to let aid in.
The people in Gaza need food and medicine because they haven't been able to get supplies.
Some countries, like the U.K. and those in the EU, are upset with Israel and are talking about taking action.
Meanwhile, the fighting continues, and many people have died.
The UN dispatched 90 aid trucks to Gaza, the first delivery since early March.
Israel is facing growing international pressure to allow aid and halt military operations.
The EU is reviewing its trade deal with Israel; the UK has suspended trade talks.
Gaza's health ministry reported over 3,509 deaths since military operations resumed March 18.
A US-backed group plans to send aid, but the UN won't cooperate due to alleged ties.
