The United Nations says 90 trucks of aid are now in Gaza after the delay in crossing

More than 90 shipments of humanitarian aid were collected by the United Nations teams inside the Gaza Strip, three days after Israel alleviated the siege for 11 weeks.

The aid, which included flour, children’s food and medical equipment, was captured from the Kere Shalom crossing on Wednesday evening and was transferred to distribution warehouses. Many bakeries began to produce bread with flour on Thursday.

The United Nations said that the delays were due to the lack of security along the individual arrival path approved by the Israeli army.

The Israeli authorities said they had allowed a large group of truck via Kerem SHALOM on Wednesday. However, the United Nations said it “is not close enough to meet the extensive needs in Gaza.”

The United Nations said about 500 trucks entered the region on average every day before the war.

Humanitarian organizations have warned of acute levels of hunger between 2.1 million, amid a large shortage of basic foods and high prices.

Palestinian Authority Minister Majid Abu Ramadan, who is located in the occupied West Bank, told reporters on Thursday that 29 children and the elderly have died for “hunger” related reasons in the last two days, according to Reuters.

Half a million people of hunger said in the coming months.

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) said that the United Nations and its partners had more than 140,000 tons of food – about 6000 truck loads and enough to feed all the population for a period of two months – in a position in auxiliary corridors and ready to reach Gaza on a large scale.

Israel stopped all delivery operations from aid and commercial supplies to Gaza on March 2 and resumed its military attack after two weeks, and ended the two -month ceasefire with Hamas.

She said that the steps were aiming to pressure the armed group to release 58 hostages, who were still detained in Gaza, up to 23 of them alive.

Israel insisted that there was no shortage of aid and accused Hamas of stealing supplies to provide it to its fighters or selling money – a claim that the group denied. The United Nations also denied the transfer of aid.

On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated this claim, saying in a statement: “I tell President Macron, Prime Minister Carne and Prime Minister Starmer: When the mass murderers, rape, small murderers and kidnappers are on the wrong aspect of justice.”

Netanyahu said that the leaders of France, Canada and the United Kingdom “bought Hamas’s propaganda, which says Israel is starving on Palestinian children.”

He reiterated that Israel and the United States will create their aid delivery through American companies in Gaza, bypassing the United Nations and other assistance suppliers.

Netanyahu had previously said that it allowed a limited amount of food so that the Israeli army could continue its newly expanded land attack and fully control the Palestinian territories.

He said on Thursday that building the first distribution areas in the plan will be completed “in the coming days.”

The United Nations and other agencies said it will not cooperate with the US -Israeli plan, saying it contradicts the basic humanitarian principles and it appears to be “arms aid.”

ICRC said it had brought one load of medical supplies to the Red Cross Field Hospital in the southern city of Rafah, but more was needed.

She said: “A group of trucks is sadly insufficient. The rapid flow of fast and sustainable aid can begin to address the scope of full needs on Earth.”

Mandy Blackman, the nurse responsible for the management of the UK Field Hospital in the southern Maoas region, described the situation in Gaza as “super -heart”, with food in a large number of supply.

BBC told that patients who arrive in the hospital were “clearly thinner” than it was during its previous two periods there, and that the employees were not only able to provide one meal a day, consisting of rice with some pulses.

“People have to move constantly and cannot feed their children. No one knows what will happen the next day. There is continuous suffering and constant anxiety,” she said.

Before the aid intervened Gaza, Antoine Renard, official in charge of the World Food Program (BBC), told the BBC that the problems in their collection had arisen because the Israeli army wanted the trucks to move on a road that is considered to be dangerous.

He said that the road could leave them at risk of attacks by hungry civilians and armed criminal gangs.

“At the prices of the market in Gaza at the present time, the value of each truck filled with flour is about 400,000 dollars (298,000 pounds),” said Mr. Renard.

He added that the solution will be “hundreds of daily trucks” that travel along a safe road to warehouses, indicating “the more we say, the more danger and more anxiety” among the population.

Mr. Renard said that the relief agencies by Gaza did not employ armed guards to accompany their shipments because they were very dangerous, so there was an urgent need for a long suspension and an extension of the current window for five days to transport food.

According to Mr. Renard, bringing at least 100 auxiliary trucks daily will not fulfill the “minimum” food needs of the population.

Meanwhile, Israeli bombing and land operations continue throughout Gaza, as the Hamas Ministry of Health has informed on Thursday that 107 people have been killed over the past 24 hours.

At least 52 people have been killed since dawn on Thursday, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Agency. The Palestinian media reported that it included 16 people, most of whom are members of an extended family, who died when a house was injured in Gabalia, in northern Gaza.

The Israeli army issued the evacuation orders for Japalia and another 13 north neighborhoods on Thursday, and the residents warned that “working with an intense force in your areas, as terrorist organizations continue their activities and operations.”

According to the United Nations, about 81 % of the region are now subject to Israeli evacuation orders or are located in the “No-G” military areas.

It is estimated that nearly 600,000 people have been displaced again since March, including 161,000 who were forced to flee last week.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on the border on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken into account.

At least 53,762 people have been killed, including 16,500 children, in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health in the region.
