A shipment of medicine for dozens of hostages held by Hamas arrived in Gaza on Wednesday after France and Qatar mediated the first agreement between Israel and the militant group since a weeklong ceasefire in November.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed Al-Ansari, announced late Wednesday on X that the shipment had crossed into Gaza, without saying whether the medicine had been distributed.
A senior Hamas official said that for every box provided for the hostages, 1,000 boxes would be sent in for Palestinians.
The deal also includes the delivery of humanitarian aid to residents of the besieged coastal enclave.
France said it took months
