Sources Al Jazeera Arabic that the number of trucks that entered the Gaza Strip during 11 days of the ceasefire stands at 7,926.

About two-thirds of the trucks carried food supplies, they said, adding that the amount of tents (208) and medical supplies brought to the enclave are much lower than needed.

The sources also said the entry of 197 fuel trucks into the Strip does not benefit the civil defence, municipalities or electricity companies.

No heavy machinery or equipment has been brought into Gaza to remove rubble and search for bodies, and no building materials have been brought in for restoration and rehabilitation, according to the sources.
