Aid flow to Gaza reduced to a third since beginning of Rafah invasion

The amount of humanitarian aids entering the besieged Gaza Strip has reduced to one-third since the Israeli regime began its invasion against Rafah, a UN official reported.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in a report released on Wednesday, said a daily average of 176 relief trucks reached Gaza between April 1 and May 6, compared to 58 that reached Gaza between May 7 and May 28, down by 67 percent.

“The amount of food and other aid entering Gaza, already insufficient to meet the soaring needs, has further shrunk since May 7,” it said.

Israel unleashed a genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, which has so far killed at least 36,171 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 81,420 others.

The occupying regime began a ground offensive in Rafah on May 7, defying calls from the international community not to proceed.

The city, situated on Gaza's southern border with Egypt, is home to about a million displaced Palestinians who have fled from the rest of the besieged territory amid the bloody Israeli onslaught.

The Rafah incursion disrupted aid deliveries to Gaza from the southern crossings of Rafah and Kerem Shalom.
