Gaza War: Israel: Further auxiliary transports reach Gaza

According to Israel, further deliveries have arrived in the area at the end of the Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip. 107 trucks with relief goods such as flour, other foods, medical equipment and medication drove in the coastal strips on Thursday, the responsible authority Cogat said on Friday morning. According to the information, it is a matter of humanitarian aid from the United Nations and the International Community.

Since the beginning of March, Israel had not allowed aid deliveries. The country accuses Hamas to resell the relief goods to finance their fighters and weapons. Help has been flowing again since Monday. According to helpers, the quantities arrived so far are far from sufficient to relieve the great need of the local people. The UN and aid organizations warn of a famine in the coastal strip.

Distribution is complicated

There are also difficulties in distributing aids. “Because of the uncertainty, the risk of looting, the delays in the coordination of permits and the routes provided by the Israeli armed forces, which are not suitable for the transport of goods, there are still considerable problems with the loading and dispatch of goods,” said the UN NOTHILLIFIC OCHA.

According to the United Nations, around 500 truck loads would be necessary every day to guarantee the supply of the approximately two million Palestinians in the sealed coastal area.
