Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam policy lead in the occupied Palestinian territory, tells Al Jazeera that the situation in Gaza is “nothing short of an apocalyptic nightmare”.

Speaking about Israeli authorities allowing only 12 aid trucks into besieged northern Gaza in the past two and a half months, she said that the figure demonstrates how the resources going in are just a drop in the ocean.

“This is not aid, this is cruelty. And when those supplies do get in, they are followed by shelling and destruction of the very places people are sheltering,” she said from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

“People are now scared to go out and get the aid on the trucks because there’s been follow-ups of air strikes after trucks were delivered.”
