The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said 915 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Monday, the second day of the ceasefire, Reuters reports.
OCHA cited information from Israel and the ceasefire guarantors, the US, Qatar and Egypt. On Sunday, the UN said some 630 aid trucks entered the Palestinian enclave, with at least 300 of them going to the north, where experts have warned a famine looms.
Data from the UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA showed 2,892 aid trucks entered Gaza in December. Aid is dropped off on the Gaza side of the border, where it is picked up by the UN and distributed.
But gangs and looters have made that hard. Data from OCHA shows 2,230 aid truckloads — an average of 72 a day — were picked up in December, while between January 1-5, it was a daily average of 51.
