Israel allows candy trucks to Gaza before Ramadan

Israel has authorized the entry of hundreds of trucks with sweets and drinks into Gaza ahead of Ramadan, as reported by Israeli media. This decision, prompted by U.S. officials, allows for the transfer of nonessential goods, including premium items like energy drinks and chocolates. Since a ceasefire began, around 700 humanitarian aid trucks enter Gaza daily, but the influx of nonessential shipments may affect Israel’s cost of living. New customs regulations require that aid purchases be funneled through designated Israeli firms to streamline oversight.
