Overview

• United Nations humanitarian office reports only 600 of 900 pre-approved aid trucks have reached Gaza’s border this week.
• OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke describes Gaza as “the hungriest place on earth” and warns every resident is at risk of famine.
• Security screenings and bureaucratic hurdles have made it nearly impossible for most convoys to enter Gaza.
• Almost all delivered supplies are uncooked staples such as flour, with virtually no ready-to-eat food reaching those in need.
• The International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent says half of Gaza’s medical facilities are non-operational due to fuel and equipment shortages.
