Overview
- White House and U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center figures say an average of 674 trucks a day have entered Gaza since Oct. 10, totaling nearly 15,000 loads.
- Gaza’s Government Media Office counters that only 4,453 trucks have entered over the period, alleging Israeli restrictions on more than 350 basic food items and describing the situation as “engineered starvation.”
- The World Food Programme says roughly half of Gaza’s food needs are being met, while a coalition of Palestinian relief agencies estimates deliveries are about a quarter of what the ceasefire envisioned.
- U.S. officials cite distribution gains including food parcels for more than one million people, daily delivery of about 17,000 cubic meters of drinking water, the return of eggs to markets, and tens of thousands of medical consultations and surgeries.
- UN OCHA and spokesperson Farhan Haq say convoys are confined to two Israeli crossings and urge opening more routes, and U.S. officials allege Hamas looting of aid convoys, with CENTCOM reporting drone footage of such incidents in late October.
