The 20-truck convoy was announced by U.S. President Joe Biden following a trip to Israel on Wednesday and was not subject to inspection of the kind that officials say will be needed for continuous deliveries. "It's incredibly important that there is no gap in the aid going across the border," he said. The U.N. says 100 trucks daily are needed to meet essential needs in Gaza, where Israel has imposed a"total siege" as it bombards the enclave in retaliation for a deadly incursion by Hamas militants.
"We need from tomorrow to build up a light, efficient, random hopefully, inspection system that will not slow things down," said Griffiths, comparing the type of possible system to that used in Gaziantep to send aid from Turkey into Syria.
