Gaza civilians are still waiting for enough aid to survive after a ceasefire that began on Oct. 10.
The Hamas‑run media office said only 980 trucks of relief supplies have crossed into the Strip, far below the 6,600 trucks expected by the UN and aid groups.
The aid that has arrived includes 14 trucks of cooking gas and 28 trucks filled with diesel for bakeries, generators and hospitals. Yet that is not enough to keep the 2.4 million residents fed or to power their essential services. The office said the average is just over 89 trucks a day, compared with the 600 trucks per day that were promised.
“We’re still suffocating, starving, and being blackmailed by the occupation,” the statement warned. It called for an urgent increase to 600 trucks a day, with food, medical supplies, relief items, fuel and cooking gas, to meet basic survival needs.
Local authorities say they are ready to work with international relief agencies to speed aid delivery and ensure a fair distribution across all governorates and critical facilities.
The ceasefire, which started on Oct. 10, is in its first phase. It includes partial Israeli troop withdrawals, a swap of hostages, and a planned jump in aid shipments to Gaza.
After a brief flare‑up in violence over the weekend, the United Nations welcomed the fragile truce’s re‑establishment. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric praised efforts by mediators but highlighted ongoing concerns over attacks on civilians. He urged all sides to keep the ceasefire, protect civilians, and avoid any action that could restart fighting or block humanitarian work. He also said the Secretary‑General’s call for the release of all deceased hostages remains unchanged.
