Some 173 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Oct. 12 through the crossings, marking the first day following the ceasefire agreement, the media office said in a statement.
Three liquefied gas trucks and six diesel fuel trucks crossed into the enclave to operate bakeries, generators, and hospitals amid an acute shortage of essential materials, the statement added.
The media office said the quantities of humanitarian aid that entered the Palestinian enclave are far from meeting “even the minimum humanitarian and living requirements of more than 2.4 million people.”
Gaza government offices continue to coordinate with international organizations and aid agencies to organize the arrival and distribution of humanitarian aid.
Israel has maintained a blockade on Gaza, home to nearly 2.4 million people, for nearly 18 years and tightened the siege in March when it closed border crossings and blocked food and medicine deliveries, pushing the enclave into famine.
Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed more than 67,800 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children, leaving the enclave largely uninhabitable.
