Dr. Alaa El-Din Al-Batta, head of the Union of Gaza Municipalities, clarified that the amount of aid and tents that have arrived in the Strip does not rise to the level of meeting the necessary needs of the population. He stressed the urgent need for Gaza for equipment and machinery to recover and bury bodies in light of the deteriorating humanitarian situation.

In an interview with Al Arabiya channel today, Sunday, Al-Batta described the humanitarian situation in the sector as very difficult, and calls for immediate action from the international community to stop this rapid deterioration.

These statements come at a time when Israel continues its military operations inside the Strip, despite the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement on October 10, with the continued imposition of strict restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid.

According to official statistics, the average number of trucks that have entered Gaza since the beginning of the truce does not exceed 89 trucks per day, while Gaza needs 600 trucks per day to secure the minimum basic needs, according to Anadolu Agency.

The Government Media Office in Gaza also confirmed that the amount of aid entering the Strip does not meet the minimum needs, pointing out that this situation reflects the continuation of the policy of “strangulation and starvation” against more than 2.4 million Palestinians.

It is worth noting that about 40 countries and international organizations are participating in the “Civil-Military Coordination Center” established south of Tel Aviv to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between “Israel” and “Hamas”, and to coordinate the entry of humanitarian aid into the sector, two years after the devastating war.
