Aid Deliveries to Gaza Fall Short of Ceasefire Agreement, Impacting Humanitarian Efforts
Aid deliveries into Gaza are significantly below the levels agreed upon in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire stipulated that 600 trucks of aid should enter Gaza daily, but an analysis by the Associated Press reveals that only about 459 trucks have been entering on average. This shortfall is affecting the 2 million residents of Gaza, many of whom are in dire need of food and other essential supplies. The Israeli military body COGAT, responsible for coordinating aid entry, claims that 18,000 trucks of food aid have entered since the ceasefire, but this is only 70% of the total aid expected. The United Nations and other humanitarian groups have reported even lower figures, indicating severe bottlenecks in aid delivery.
