Palestinians are living through “the cruellest phase” of the war between Israel and Hamas, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres said yesterday.
An Israeli-enforced aid blockade on Gaza has partially eased, with about 130 aid lorries crossing into the territory in recent days. But one Gazan said earlier that the help they are seeing is just a “drop in the ocean” of what’s needed.
The UN estimates that at least 600 aid trucks are needed every day to start addressing Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
An arm of the Israeli Government, Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), earlier said “there is no food shortage in Gaza at this time”.
