Dozens of trucks carrying humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza on Sunday, but still, more aid is desperately needed.
The United Nations is urgently appealing for a ceasefire in Gaza to facilitate the timely delivery of essential humanitarian assistance.
The Palestinian territories’ primary humanitarian aid organization said on Sunday it received 24 trucks from Egypt into Gaza, carrying food and medical necessities, bringing the total number of trucks received so far to 118.In a statement on Sunday, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East said thousands of people had broken into some of its warehouses and distribution centers in Gaza and taken “wheat flour and other basic survival items.
The United Nations World Food Programme says it aims to feed over 1 million people who are going hungry. But communication blackouts and fuel shortages, which Israel Defense Forces say are being hoarded by Hamas, are hindering aid delivery.
