Just 36 Aid Trucks Entered Gaza Yesterday, Palestinian Officials Claim - Short of 600 Needed
GAZA STRIP, AUG 2 – UN denies blocking Gaza aid after Israeli approval despite only 36 aid trucks entering, far below the 600 daily truckloads needed, officials said.
- On Sunday, Palestinian officials stated that only 36 aid trucks entered Gaza, far below the 600 trucks needed daily to prevent famine.
- This limited aid entry follows months of Israeli restrictions beginning in March, imposed to pressure Hamas militants amid ongoing conflict.
- Last Sunday, Israel announced a temporary halt to military operations in certain areas to facilitate increased aid deliveries, but humanitarian organizations report that the current level of assistance is still inadequate.
- Jeanette Bailey, a nutrition expert, said in a Wednesday interview, "This is not an adequate response," warning deaths will rise sharply if aid remains limited.
- The inadequate aid flow suggests a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza with starvation spreading despite partial easing of restrictions and ongoing aid efforts.
