Gaza on Sunday received the largest aid shipment since the war between Israel and Hamas began, as nearly three dozen trucks entered the region.
The death toll among Palestinians crossed 8,000, mostly women and minors, said the gaza health ministry.
Israel has allowed only a small trickle of aid to enter.
According to a report by the Associated Press citing a spokesperson at the Rafah crossing, 33 trucks of aid entered the only border crossing from Egypt.
On early Sunday, communications were restored to much of Gaza after an Israeli bombardment described by residents as the most intense of the war knocked out most contact late Friday.
Karim Khan, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, visited the Rafah crossing and called the suffering of civilians “profound”.
Karim said he had not been able to enter Gaza.
He called on Israel to respect international law but stopped short of accusing it of war crimes.
He also called Hamas’ October 7 attack a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
“The burden rests with those who aim the gun, missile or rocket in question,” Karim said. “These are the most tragic of days.”
