The Hamas terror group again accuses Israel of holding up the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in violation of its obligations under the ceasefire and hostage release deal.
The head of Hamas’s government media office in Gaza, Salama Marouf, asserts that Israel is under-delivering crucial supplies of fuel, with only 15 fuel trucks entering the strip each day, rather than the expected 50.
He says that some 200,000 tents and 60,000 mobile homes are required to house the residents of the war-torn Strip and that the amount received has fallen far short.
Contradicting assessments from both the United Nations and COGAT, the Israeli Defense Ministry body responsible for overseeing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Marouf claims that only 8,500 aid trucks have entered Gaza in the three weeks since the ceasefire took hold.
COGAT, by contrast, says 12,600 trucks have entered since the deal came into effect, while the UN placed the number at “over 10,000,” earlier this week, amounting to roughly 550 trucks per day.
