Gaza Herald- Ismail Al-Thawabta, Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza, said border crossings have operated at extremely limited capacity in recent weeks.
“Only 640 trucks entered the Gaza Strip out of the 6,000 trucks that were supposed to arrive under existing agreements,” he said in remarks to Anadolu Agency, noting that this represents no more than 10 percent of the actual needs.
Al-Thawabta added that truck movement data shows a large gap between humanitarian needs and what is being allowed into the enclave.
“Only 36,720 trucks entered Gaza out of the 88,800 trucks that were supposed to arrive during this period, meaning compliance did not exceed 41 percent,” he explained.
He stressed that the crisis is not limited to food supplies but also includes energy shortages.
“Only 1,081 fuel trucks have entered Gaza out of the 7,400 trucks that were expected, which is just 14 percent of the actual need,” he said. He also noted that cooking gas has been completely blocked, causing a severe crisis affecting both household use and essential services.
Al-Thawabta warned that continued restrictions on aid and basic supplies threaten the food security of more than 1.5 million people in Gaza. The shortages of fuel and supplies have also led to rising prices and disruptions in key sectors, particularly water, sanitation, and municipal services.
