Some 173 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip through the crossing on October 12, marking the first day after the cease-fire agreement, the media office said in a statement.
The statement added that three liquefied gas trucks and six diesel-fueled trucks have entered the enclave to operate a bakery, generators and hospital amid a severe shortage of essential supplies.
The media office said the amount of humanitarian aid flowing into the Palestinian enclaves was far from meeting “the minimum humanitarian and subsistence requirements of more than 2.4 million people.”
The Gaza Government Office continues to work with international organizations and aid agencies to organize the arrival and distribution of humanitarian aid.
Israel has maintained a blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to about 2.4 million people, for nearly 18 years, tightening its siege in March by closing border crossings and cutting off food and medicine deliveries, pushing the enclave to starvation.
Since October 2023, Israeli military attacks have killed more than 67,800 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, most of them women and children, leaving the enclave almost uninhabitable.
