"We are very happy that the aid has been secured, instead of the young men going to risk their lives and their souls to bring flour from there. Some people were taking it and others were not taking it. When the aid is secured and distributed fairly to everyone, God willing it will be distributed as quickly as possible to the people."

STORYLINE:
People cheered as a convoy of trucks carrying aid made its way into Gaza City for the first time in months on Wednesday.
Masked men fired shots into the air to disperse large crowds from the dozens of crates marked with the United Arab Emirates Red Crescent and UAE Aid logos.
The clans of northern Gaza say they helped facilitate the delivery.
United Nations agencies did not immediately respond to The Associated Press questions about the aid delivery and initiative.
Ahmad Nattat was among those in the crowd standing between tents and buildings reduced to rubble, celebrating the arrival of the aid. He hopes that this would mark a change after having to take long walks to aid collection points by the American-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation organization, which have been chaotic and often fatal due to stampedes and gunfire.
“When the aid is secured and distributed fairly to everyone, God willing it will be distributed as quickly as possible to the people," he said.
