Humanitarian aid in Gaza
From the October 21, 74 aid trucks entered in the Gaza Strip from Egyptaccording to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), an amount considered very insufficient, since before ““total siege” imposed by Israel on October 9, around 500 trucks entered daily.
Faced with this situation, the leaders of the 27 European Union countries requested “humanitarian corridors” and “breaks” for deliver help. The United States also suggested these humanitarian “pauses” before a ceasefire, which they say would currently only benefit Hamas.
About 1.4 million people were displaced to the south of the Gaza Strip to flee the Israeli bombings, although approximately 30 thousand returned to the north of the territory in recent days, according to the UN.
