Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah that Gaza has seen a significant influx of humanitarian supplies.

“We understand that on the first day of the ceasefire, more than 630 humanitarian aid trucks were sent into the enclave. Approximately 300 of those went to the northern regions,” he said.

Yesterday, the number of aid trucks increased to 915. They were carrying essential food items alongside water and medication.

“Today, we expect to see even more aid trucks flowing in.

“We understand that the aid will be distributed today at humanitarian aid centres in all regions of Gaza.

“Still, this falls short of the ocean of needs of Gaza’s population,” he said.
