Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Deir el-Balah, Gaza, confirms about 90 trucks filled with humanitarian aid were loaded at the temporary pier at Gaza City’s shore yesterday.

Those trucks made their way to UNRWA warehouses inside Deir el-Balah. Priority will be given to evacuation centres in central Gaza, including Deir el-Balah, Khan Younis, al-Mawasi evacuation zone, and hospitals that are still operational.

Reaching hospitals in Rafah will require high-level coordination, as Israel’s military continues to pound the city.

The aid delivery has been perceived as an important step, likely to relieve some of the widespread suffering. However, it should not be a replacement for all the land crossings … which are more equipped and more efficient.

Ninety trucks a day is not nearly enough to feed and respond to the needs of displaced Palestinians.
