Gaza’s Government Media office says only 36 aid trucks entered Gaza on Saturday, far below the 500 to 600 the UN estimates are needed to meet residents’ daily needs, Al Jazeera reports.

Most of the trucks were looted before their contents could be distributed, the office added, blaming Israel for “systematically and deliberately” enforcing the “security chaos”.

“Famine is ravaging Gaza’s children amid shameful international silence,” the office said in a statement, calling for the “immediate opening of the crossings and the entry of sufficient quantities of aid and baby formula”.
