A Hamas spokesman accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement by preventing the entry of humanitarian aid and shelter materials into the Gaza Strip.
He calls on the deal’s international mediators to pressure Israel to implement its humanitarian protocol, which stipulates that at least 600 trucks of aid will enter the enclave daily.
The UN said this morning that over 10,000 trucks full of humanitarian aid have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began on January 19, which is over 550 per day, a surge from before the truce.
The Hamas spokesman cites harsh winter conditions in Gaza, following a night of heavy rain and strong winds that flooded makeshift tents housing displaced families.
“We are following up with the mediators on ways to compel Israel to implement all the clauses of the ceasefire agreement,” the spokesman says.
