Since the outbreak of hostilities on 7 October, Israel has maintained strict closures on Gaza’s Crossings, limiting essential goods and imposing significant restrictions on humanitarian aid, creating severe living conditions.
Lazzarini emphasized that these 30 daily trucks “cannot meet the needs of over 2 million people, many of whom are starving, sick and in desperate conditions.”
He noted that these trucks “represent only 6 per cent of the supplies (commercial and humanitarian) allowed into Gaza before the war.”
Israel has continued a devastating offensive on Gaza since an attack last year by Hamas, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.
Nearly 43,400 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 102,200 others injured, according to local health authorities.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
