Aid Convoys Return to Gaza After 80-Day Blockade
ai generated text
Following international pressure, Israel has permitted limited aid trucks carrying essential supplies into Gaza; however, humanitarian organizations report that the assistance remains insufficient amid severe malnutrition, especially among children, and logistical challenges hinder effective distribution. Despite the easing of the blockade, the ongoing conflict and infrastructural devastation continue to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, with warnings of impending famine if substantial relief is not promptly delivered.
The ongoing displacement of Gaza's population is putting immense pressure on humanitarian teams.
None of this aid – that is a very limited number of trucks – has reached the Gaza population.
At market prices in Gaza right now, each truck full of flour is worth around $400,000 (£298,000).
We have brought in empty trucks from various places in Gaza to pick up the supplies.
Israeli authorities had only allowed our teams to go through one area where that was highly congested, that we felt was insecure and where we felt looting was highly likely to take place given the prolonged deprivation in Gaza.
In close touch with team in #Gaza. Today will be crucial. Truckloads of lifesaving aid finally on move again.
In order for us to keep our operational freedom of action, and to allow our best friends to continue to support us, we need to prevent a humanitarian crisis.
In the last couple of days we lost 29 children.
Everywhere you look, people are hungry … They point their fingers to their mouths showing that [they] need something to eat.
The few trucks that have entered with life-saving supplies are nowhere near sufficient and have yet to reach those in desperate need. We're running out of supplies inside Gaza, and we're running out of time.
