Dubai, United Arab Emirates – UNRWA confirmed that it has thousands of trucks ready to enter.
This came as aid trucks were expected to enter the Gaza Strip on Saturday.
Adnan Abu Hasna, media advisor to the Palestinian Refugee Relief Agency, said: “We have 6,000 trucks waiting at the gates of the Gaza Strip”.
He also stressed that the agency is ready to provide relief materials sufficient for the residents of Gaza for several months.
To that.. He explained that the priority is to return Gaza students to school after two years of devastating war.
80% of the sector is destroyed
Abu Hasna stressed that 80% of the Gaza Strip was destroyed as a result of the war.
After the ceasefire entered into force yesterday, the World Food Program urged the Israeli government to quickly allow the delivery of more aid to the residents of the war-torn Gaza Strip. “This moment is very important for the people of Gaza,” said Martin Frick, representative of the UN programme.
He also stressed that the ceasefire must now provide safe border crossings and clear security guarantees for the transfer of aid, considering that every hour matters.
In addition, he explained that 60,000 tons of food are ready to enter the border crossings, with another 100,000 tons on their way to the Gaza Strip.
He pointed out that this would be sufficient to supply Gaza with food supplies for approximately three months, provided that access is safe and reliable.
He added that the World Food Programme could reach 1.6 million people and provide them with bread, flour, and food rations in just the first month.
He also stressed that Israel controls the entrances to the Gaza Strip, must allow aid to pass, and ensure the safety of convoys.
implementation of the agreement
This came after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas entered into force on Friday afternoon at 0900 GMT.
After agreeing on a plan drawn up by US President Donald Trump to stop the war.
It stipulated the exchange of prisoners between the two sides, and allowing the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged Gaza Strip.
It is noteworthy that over the past two years, Israel, which controlled all crossings in the Gaza Strip, has prevented the entry of food and medical aid.
Which led to famine in several parts of Gaza, according to United Nations confirmations.
