The UN has said more than 4,200 aid trucks have entered the Gaza Strip in the six days since a ceasefire began between Israel and Hamas, although there was a large drop in the number of loads delivered yesterday, according to Reuters.
The UN humanitarian agency OCHA said 339 aid trucks crossed into Gaza on Friday, citing information from Israeli authorities and the guarantors for the ceasefire agreement — the United States, Egypt and Qatar. This compares with 630 on Sunday, 915 on Monday, 897 on Tuesday, 808 on Wednesday, and 653 on Thursday.
When asked why there was a large drop in the number of aid trucks, OCHA spokesperson Eri Kaneko said the UN and humanitarian partners “have been working as quickly as possible to dispatch and distribute this large volume of assistance” to some 2.1 million people across the devastated enclave.
