🇺🇳UN: Aid Efforts Expanding, But Gaza Still Faces Huge Gaps Under the ceasefire terms, at least 600 aid trucks were meant to enter Gaza daily — but Israel continues to block most shipments and only allow a trickle. On Wednesday, just 127 UN-coordinated trucks were allowed through the Kerem Shalom and Kissufim crossings, carrying food, tents, medical supplies, and 340,000 litres of diesel. Five UN-led missions also collected medical equipment, insulin, and cholera kits. The UN says humanitarian operations are scaling up under its 60-day response plan, with agencies now distributing over one million hot meals daily across the Strip. In northern Gaza, six UN-supported bakeries have resumed production and families are receiving food parcels with rice, canned goods, and cooking oil. Since the October 10 ceasefire, more than 20 new nutrition sites have opened, bringing the total to 150. Over 400 sites were operational before Israel’s total siege. Mobile teams providing health and nutrition support have doubled to 20, reaching remote and devastated areas. This week, partners delivered therapeutic food for 1,200 malnourished children and 32,000 jars of baby food for 760 infants. Relief groups have also distributed 600,000 diapers, 11,000 jerry cans, 5,800 hygiene kits, 3,000 buckets, and 280 disability kits to displaced families. Over 140 water tanks have been moved into Gaza to expand community water points. More than 435,000 people have moved north since the ceasefire, many living in unsafe makeshift sites. The UN urged Israel to open more crossings and allow NGOs direct access, stressing that “more is needed and more can be done” to meet Gaza’s immense humanitarian needs. 🎥 Gaza Humanitarian Aid Coordinator Eyad Amawi told Drop Site that conditions remain dire in Gaza, with only about 90 trucks entering daily as Israel continues to engineer famine. He added: “There is no real tangible change in the number of tents and mobile homes — both of those are very vital to save our people’s lives before the winter.”
