Gaza strip: An updated statement has been issued by the Government Operations Room for Emergency Interventions-Gaza Strip, highlighting concerns over the limited volume of aid currently allowed into the region. The aid supply remains far below the minimum required to address urgent humanitarian needs, particularly in terms of shelter materials and medical supplies. Essential equipment for emergency response operations, such as rubble removal and the rehabilitation of medical facilities, is also restricted. Furthermore, maintenance of water and sewage networks and repairs to damaged homes are hindered due to these limitations.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, data from the Operations Room indicates that from the beginning of October 2025 until the end of the first week of November, 9,424 trucks entered the Gaza Strip. This results in a daily average of only 348 trucks, representing just 41 percent of the number that should be entering under the ceasefire agreement. A significant portion of these, 36 percent, were commercial trucks belonging to the private sector, thereby reducing the volume of actual humanitarian aid reaching affected civilians.
The Government Operations Room has called on governments, the international community, the United Nations and its agencies, and international organizations to take immediate action. They urge these bodies to pressure the occupying authorities to open all land crossings without restrictions, ensuring the safe and sustained entry of necessary humanitarian assistance.
