Govt Media Office in Gaza: 124 aid trucks entered Gaza Strip Sunday, most of which were looted
Gaza – Saba: The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip said on Monday that only 124 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip yesterday, Sunday, most of which were looted and robbed amidst deliberate security chaos created by the Israeli enemy as part of its policy of "engineering starvation and chaos" aimed at undermining the steadfastness of the Palestinian people. The office said in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba): "Over the course of 15 days, the total number of aid trucks that entered the Gaza Strip was only 1,334, out of the intended quantity of 9,000. This means that what entered is equivalent to approximately 14% of the actual needs." The statement stressed that the Israeli enemy continues to prevent the entry of sufficient aid trucks, close the crossings, and undermine the work of humanitarian organizations. It added, "We remind you that the Gaza Strip needs more than 600 different aid trucks daily to meet the minimum needs of 2.4 million people, amid the near-total collapse of infrastructure due to the ongoing war and genocide." The government media outlet held the Zionist enemy and its allies fully responsible for the humanitarian catastrophe. The government media called on the United Nations, Arab and Islamic countries, and the international community to take serious action to open the crossings and ensure the flow of aid, especially food, baby formula, and life-saving medicines, and to hold the Zionist enemy accountable for its crimes against civilians.
