The UN relief agency has warned that its food distribution centres in Gaza would close within hours unless Israel allowed more supplies over the border.
Earlier, Israel said it would allow 30 trucks to deliver food and medicine.
Also on Thursday a delegation of senior European diplomats was barred access to by the Israeli authorities.
Israel stopped the transfer of all goods into Gaza for nearly a week, citing recent militant attacks. It has also prevented journalists, including from the BBC, from entering the territory.
Limited supplies of fuel were sent over on Tuesday after Gaza's only power plant ran out of diesel.
Militants say the mortar and rocket fire is their response to what they say is Israeli aggression against Gaza.
The UN relief agency, Unrwa, distributes emergency aid to about half of Gaza's 1.5m population. Its spokeswoman Karen Konig Abu Zayd says the latest Israeli restrictions raise concerns about the future of humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
