Aid that entered Gaza is far less than the population's need

The number of humanitarian aid trucks that entered Gaza within two days reached 34, and United Nations sources report that this amount does not exceed 4% of the volume of daily aid that entered the Strip before the outbreak of the war.


Fourteen trucks loaded with food supplies and drinking water bottles entered Gaza on Sunday evening from the Rafah crossing after being delayed for several hours, according to what Palestinian sources say was due to armed clashes between fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Israeli army, as a soldier was killed and three others were injured when armored vehicles entered in a limited manner. Within the territory of the Strip, Al-Qassam says.


The total amount of aid that arrived in Gaza over two days was 34 trucks, which the government media says is far less than the Strip’s urgent need for medical, food and logistical supplies, at a time when seven hospitals were out of service and lacked the most basic components of the medical system, according to the Ministry of Health.


The situation becomes more disastrous and tragic as the number of displaced people increases, which, according to the United Nations, has reached about one and a half million displaced people, many of whom have no place to stay, no food, no drink, no medical service, no electricity, and no horizon for a solution.
