Gaza’s government media office says only 73 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, far below the 500 to 600 the UN estimates are needed to meet residents’ daily needs, Al Jazeera reports.

In addition, most of the trucks were looted before their contents could be distributed, it added, blaming Israel for “systematically and deliberately” enforcing the “security chaos”.

“We strongly condemn the continued crime of starvation, the closure of the crossings, and the prevention of humanitarian aid from entering,” the office said in a statement.
