United Nations humanitarian officials say that more than 630 trucks of humanitarian aid have entered the Gaza Strip, in implementation of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
In a post on social media platform X, Tom Fletcher, the United Nations under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, says that over 630 trucks entered Gaza on Sunday, with at least 300 of them bringing humanitarian assistance into the north.
“There is no time to lose,” Fletcher writes. “After 15 months of relentless war, the humanitarian needs are staggering.”
