The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said that at least 500-600 aid lorries are needed every day to be delivered to Gaza. “A meaningful and uninterrupted flow of aid into Gaza is the only way to prevent the current disaster from spiraling further,” the agency said on X. “The people of Gaza cannot wait any longer,” it added.
Israel had blocked food, fuel, medicine and all other supplies from entering Gaza for nearly three months, worsening a humanitarian crisis for 2.3 million Palestinians there. This week Israel started allowing some food to enter the territory for the first time since March 2, including flour and baby food.
