As
Israel
faced a U.S. deadline to ramp up access to aid in
Gaza
on Tuesday, leading humanitarians were warning that only a fraction of the desperately needed help was reaching the Palestinian enclave.
An average of just over 30 trucks a day have been let into Gaza in recent weeks, representing “just over six percent of the daily needs,” according to Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations agency assisting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
“What is being allowed into Gaza is not enough,” he
wrote in a post on X
on Friday.
Before Israel launched its offensive in Gaza, around 500 trucks entered the enclave each day, according to the British Red Cross.
Lazzarini’s warning came ahead of the
deadline
set by Washington for Israel to meet a host of requirements aimed at boosting aid into Gaza or face restrictions on U.S. military assistance, as required under U.S. law.
