Palestinian officials have reported that recent shipments of flour and other aid reaching Gaza are grossly inadequate compared to the severe shortages caused by an 11-week blockade. Despite some trucks being allowed through, the overall quantity remains insufficient to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable populations. Additional concerns arise around potential crowd unrest as many people await food deliveries, with the Palestinian Red Crescent noting the peril of desperate individuals attempting to loot from arriving aid trucks. The humanitarian situation continues to be dire and requires urgent action and increased assistance.
'The aid that is coming through is just a drop in the ocean compared to what is actually needed. We've been under this blockade for too long,' said the Palestinian official.
'Every bit of aid helps, but it is far from sufficient to address the humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing blockade,' he added, emphasizing the urgency for more support.
