Gaza: The Israeli occupation authorities have continued to restrict the entry of substantial quantities of food and medicine into the Gaza Strip, allowing only a minimal amount of these essential supplies since the ceasefire was implemented.
According to Kuwait News Agency, only 4,453 out of 15,600 trucks carrying humanitarian aid have been permitted to enter the strip since the ceasefire began. The government media office stated that approximately 31 trucks were filled with cooking gas, while another 84 trucks carrying diesel were allocated for bakeries, hospitals, electric generators, and other vital sectors.
The average number of trucks entering Gaza daily since the ceasefire remains at 171, significantly lower than the 600 trucks mandated by the humanitarian protocol. The occupation authorities have been accused of continuing their policy of strangulation, starvation, and political blackmail against more than 2.4 million Palestinians residing in the Gaza Strip.
The statement from the media office highlighted that the occupation authorities are denying civilians in Gaza access to more than 350 types of essential foodstuffs, while allowing the entry of goods deemed "devoid of nutritional value," such as soft drinks and processed meals. The Gaza media office has reiterated its readiness to cooperate with UN, Arab, and international organizations to facilitate and coordinate the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid, ensuring its delivery to all governorates and vital centers for the benefit of the Palestinian people.
