Gaza: 10,000 aid trucks reached enclave since ceasefire began
2025-02-06 12:00
Over 10,000 aid trucks have entered the Gaza Strip since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect on May 21, the United Nations said on Monday.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the trucks were carrying essential supplies, including food, water, medicine, and fuel.
“The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, but the ceasefire has allowed for a significant increase in the flow of aid into the enclave,” said OCHA spokesman Jens Laerke.
“We are working around the clock to deliver life-saving assistance to those who need it most,” he added.
The ceasefire ended 11 days of fighting between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls Gaza. The conflict killed more than 250 people in Gaza and 13 in Israel.
The ceasefire has been welcomed by the international community, which has called for an end to the violence and a resumption of peace talks.
However, tensions remain high in the region, and there have been several reports of ceasefire violations in recent days.
The UN has called on both sides to respect the ceasefire and to work towards a lasting peace agreement.
“The people of Gaza have suffered enough,” said Laerke. “It is time for them to live in peace and dignity.”
