United Nations announced that more than 4,200 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip in the six days since the ceasefire between Hamas and the Zionist entity began, confirming a significant decrease in the number of trucks that entered yesterday, Friday.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement: 339 aid trucks entered the Palestinian Strip on Friday, citing information it received from the Zionist enemy authorities and the guarantor states of the ceasefire agreement, namely Qatar, Egypt and the United States.
630 trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday, 915 on Monday, 897 on Tuesday, 808 on Wednesday and 653 the day before yesterday, Thursday.
The ceasefire agreement requires the entry of 600 aid trucks daily into the Gaza Strip during the first phase of the ceasefire, which lasts for six weeks, including 50 trucks loaded with fuel. Half of these trucks are supposed to head to northern Gaza, where experts have warned of an imminent famine.
When asked about the reason for the significant drop in the number of trucks on Friday, spokeswoman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Eri Kaneko, said: “The international organization and humanitarian partners are working as quickly as possible to send and distribute this large volume of aid to about 2.1 million people across the devastated Strip.” It did not provide any further details.
The Gaza government has previously accused the Zionist entity of placing obstacles that led to a shortage in the number of aid trucks.
In turn, a government source in Gaza confirmed that the humanitarian situation in the northern Gaza Strip “still requires immediate and comprehensive support to provide fuel and basic materials to relieve those affected by the Zionist war of extermination.”
The source stressed “the importance of accelerating the arrival of the remaining trucks to meet the urgent needs of the population.”
With American support, the Zionist enemy committed a genocidal war in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, which left more than 157,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
