US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says that the ceasefire deal aims to bring “up to over 500 trucks a day” of humanitarian aid, though, “it won’t happen overnight.”

The ceasefire will also “unlock a real solution” regarding the distribution of humanitarian assistance which has been marred by looting due to the breakdown of law and order and security in Gaza amid the war.

Miller says during a briefing that the US has been working with aid groups so that they’re ready to surge aid once the ceasefire begins on Sunday.
