“We understand that the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas stipulates that about 600 humanitarian aid trucks will be allowed into the Strip on a daily basis,” Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip

“But Israel has a very prolonged history of violations regarding commitment to ceasefire agreements.

“The Gaza Strip is in desperate need of massive humanitarian necessities, including … all sorts of food supplies and medical needs for Gaza’s fragile health sector,” he said.

“Families believe that if Israel allows for the proper and unconditional flow of humanitarian supplies to the Strip, it will help civilians to gradually start recovering.

“Gaza’s Government Media Office said that the Gaza Strip is in need of at least 1,000 humanitarian trucks on a daily basis just to help the Palestinian economy recover and provide some sort of relief for families, who have been going through high rates of food insecurity over the course of the past year.”
