May 22 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said construction of the first humanitarian aid distribution zones in Gaza would be complete in the coming days, after Israel allowed 100 trucks carrying baby food and medical equipment into the enclave on Wednesday.
"Ultimately, we intend to have large safe zones in the south of Gaza. The Palestinian population will move there for their own safety, while we conduct combat in other zones," Netanyahu added in a video statement released by his office on Thursday.
