Overview

  • Israel has ended its 11-week blockade on humanitarian aid to Gaza, allowing the first deliveries since March.
  • A total of 107 trucks carrying UN and international humanitarian supplies entered Gaza on Thursday.
  • Aid organizations warn that the current supply is insufficient, with 500 trucks per day required to meet basic needs.
  • Distribution remains hindered by security risks, bureaucratic delays, and unsuitable transport routes coordinated by Israeli authorities.
  • The blockade was initially imposed over accusations that Hamas diverted aid to fund military operations, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
