UN says Israel has never allowed 600 aid trucks into Gaza in a single day

Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, told Al Jazeera that Israel has not permitted 600 UN aid trucks to enter Gaza on any single day since the ceasefire began.

“We want the Israeli authorities to allow in more trucks at more crossing points, we’ve made that clear,” he said.

Haq noted that while the post-ceasefire period has seen an increase in both UN and commercial trucks reaching Gaza, the scale of aid during Israel’s assault was so limited that a UN-backed panel formally declared famine in parts of the besieged enclave.
