COGAT published photos on Monday showing food markets fully stocked in northern Gaza.
Over 400 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday, the highest number in one day since the start of the war, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories said Monday evening.
The new high comes just a day after the previous highest number, 322, was recorded.

US CENTCOM announced that it conducted an airdrop of humanitarian aid in northern Gaza on Monday consisting of over 6,000 pounds of food supplies from Jordan.
Entry of humanitarian aid accelerates after aid workers killed
The entry of humanitarian aid has been accelerated in the week since seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen organization were killed in an Israeli strike launched due to a misidentification of the workers as Hamas terrorists and to a breach of IDF protocol by soldiers and commanders.
