The United Nations relief and works agency has said that it has enough food to feed every Palestinian in Gaza for three months while expressing hopes of an expected aid surge.
The agency's director of Communications Juliette Touma said in a briefing on Saturday morning that distributing the aid is absolutely critical in controlling the spread of famine.
Under the terms of the first phase of the Gaza deal, about 600 lorry loads of aid a day are supposed to head into the Strip from when the ceasefire came into effect - which was Friday at 12:00 local time.
At the same time, the Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto has also announced that the Rafah border would open on Tuesday.
Crosetto in a statement said "The Israelis are working to restore the logistical functionality of the crossing's infrastructure as quickly as possible."
He also said it would open both ways going into the strip and exiting the strip which would allow for food, aid and people to enter and leave freely from Gaza.
As plans for hostage exchange continues to move along, the International Red Cross society has said it is ready to provide support during the exchange.
The aid agency had taken part in previous hostage exchanges and says this time it will help "to return hostages and detainees to their families".
In a statement released by the agency, it said that its team on ground in Gaza would also bring in aid to the strip and distribute it.
