Gaza Officials Warn Thousands Still Trapped Under Rubble
Only 4,453 aid trucks have entered Gaza out of the 15,600 promised under the ceasefire deal, causing critical shortages.
Urgent Humanitarian Needs
The humanitarian situation demands immediate intervention to alleviate the suffering of thousands of families awaiting news of their children. Specialized international rescue teams and heavy equipment are urgently needed to recover bodies of the trapped and missing Palestinians.
“The humanitarian situation in Gaza requires urgent intervention to end the suffering of thousands of families waiting to know the fate of their children,” the committee said.
Israel’s prevention of essential equipment entry into Gaza is a
clear violation of international humanitarian law.The committee demands international actionto save as many lives as possible and preserve human dignity.
Insufficient Aid Flow and Blockade
Since the US’s peace plan announcement, only 28 percent of the required aid trucks have entered Gaza, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. Israel’s ongoing policy is described as a “policy of strangulation.”
“Only 4,453 trucks have been allowed into Gaza out of the 15,600 trucks that were supposed to enter as part of the agreement,” the office stated.
These limited deliveries fall short of meeting the minimum needs. The strip urgently requires a steady flow of at least 600 trucks daily as outlined in the deal.
Author’s summary: The current aid flow into Gaza is critically low, leaving thousands trapped and in urgent need of international rescue efforts and humanitarian supplies.
