Commercial trucks largely entering Gaza, not aid
We are supposed to be receiving 600 trucks every day of humanitarian aid, but what’s entering is less than 300 trucks. Palestinians want food, they want shelter, they want medicine.
Children don’t have anything. They need clothes, shoes, hygiene kits, medical supplies, and nothing is going to be delivered to the population until they have good stock in the warehouses, so that’s why we’re not seeing any distributions happening on the ground now.
What is entering are the commercial trucks and things that are being sold in the market. But again, Palestinians do not have the ability to buy these items. Gaza residents do not have money. Banks did not open yet…
We’re talking about a population that has lost everything they have; they lost their money. They spent all of their savings in the past two years.
Everyone is also anxious about the ceasefire holding because the agreement is not being fulfilled. The process is very slow and they’re very, very scared that anything would come and fighting would return at any point.
No change in resources at Gaza’s hospitals, says al-Shifa chief
Director of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, Mohammed Abu Salmiya, says he has not witnessed any notable progress in terms of health services or the availability of medicines since the ceasefire began.
He told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic that the health situation in the enclave remains tragic, with no changes seen as of yet. He emphasised that released prisoners needed to receive special medical attention due to the conditions they were subjected to in Israeli prisons.
Rafah crossing to be opened at later date, says Israel’s COGAT
Israel’s agency for its activities in Palestinian territory has told Reuters that preparations are ongoing with Egypt to open the Rafah crossing for the movement of people, but the date for the opening will be announced later.
The aid agency added that humanitarian aid will not pass through Rafah, but will continue to enter through the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) and other crossings.
