The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, announced that the agency has 4,000 trucks loaded with aid, half of which carry food and flour, ready to enter the Gaza Strip.

The agency said on its X platform: "UNRWA has 4,000 trucks loaded with aid ready to enter the Gaza Strip, half of which carry food and flour."

She explained that the agency's commissioner, Philippe Lazzarini, said that "attacks on aid convoys in the Gaza Strip may decrease with the entry of humanitarian relief following the ceasefire."

He added that the agency is determined to continue working in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, after an Israeli ban on its operations came into effect on January 30, stressing that UNRWA is the only body capable of providing basic health care and education in Gaza.

For his part, the representative of the World Health Organization in the occupied Palestinian territories, Rick Peeperkorn, said that the organization plans to introduce an unspecified number of hospitals ready to support the destroyed health sector in Gaza over the next two months.
