After 11 weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government trusted: This week, trucks are allowed to drive into the Gaza Strip to bring humanitarian aid into the population, which is a threat to famine as the war continues. Netanyahu said that it is importing that the “red line” of starvation cannot be crossed to maintain international support.
Coordinator of government activities (COGAT) in the states, for the Israeli Defense Unit, which oversee the civil policy in the Palestinian -occupied areas, has been passed through the Carem Shalom crossing between 198 truck Carryan Assistance 22. The border is at the junction between the Gaza Strip and Israel, the other between the Gaza Strip, others. Cogat stated that on May 20 and 21, 98 trucks were inspected and 100 more on 22 May.
Critics said that this is “a decline in the sea”. Earlier this year, Israel broke in Israel in Israel, there were 600 trucks crossing the border each day to supply a population of about 2 million.
In addition, the United Nations said that it took them some time before they start collecting and sending the supply, but they said that some bakers had a bee to start making bread on Thursday.
The supply was stuck at the delivery points due to lack of security approval. The World Food Program (WFP) Global Office head for Germany, Martin Frik, told DW that it was capable of distributing lots before human assistance. “It is a small asbestos of the hop, but is very low in view of the need. Each day hundreds of trucks will be needed. They are ready behind the border,” Heer said.
Buffer zone aid queue truck
A huge buffer zone is built behind the border. For weeks, WFP had more than 116,000 tonnes of food assistance in various aid corridors in Egypt, Jordan and Israel – enough to supply 1 million people for about four months. In the near East (UNRWA) for Palestine refugees for the United Nations Relief and Working Agency, around 3,000 fully filled aid trucks are set to go to trucks.
However, the movement for distribution points is slow. In Karem Shalome, the only border in Gaza has to be loaded on other trucks, which is currently open. Then the convoys wait at an assembly point and the planned route gets a green light from the Israeli army. Go-Farward can be canceled at Annie time, which means they will have to wait again. Thus, flour and child’s food palettes are stacking, while the soup does not have anything to cook or distribute near the kitchen.
Who is responsible for distributing assistance?
UNRWA plays a major role in Gaza. It manages emergency shelters, and it has filled 3,000 trucks with help. The WFP, meanwhile, purchases flour, operates an organ convoy and 25 bakery, which was to be closed in late March due to fuel deficiency. Some of them resumed their work on 22 May. The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) contribute special food, vaccines and surgical equipment and equipment.
They are supported by Islamic reliefs such as Egypt, Jordan, Katri, Amirati and Turkish Red Crescent Society, The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and dozens of international NGOs.
Bilateral aid supply from European Union or the US is subject to the same inspection by the Israeli army and thus the delay is likely to be delayed before entering Gaza.
The Israeli government has said that it plans to work with private American security and logistics firms, which calls the agencies to distribute humanitarian support supplies to the Palestinians in Gaza to establish that “safe hubs”. The United Nations has criticized the plan, warning that it would set a dangerous example and argue that it already had all the distribution networks, as well as the required experience.
Israel convicted Hamas for delay
From March 2, Israel justified its entire blockade, saying that Hamas is a militant Islamist group that ruled Gaza and classified by many states as a terrorist organization, which is a loot supply. It is only because of international pressure that it supplies to enter the Gaza Strip which he said that it was a “temporary” base until the new aid distribution centers were up and running.
As Israel and United Nations discuss who should take responsibility, stocks remain in interim storage facilities.
At its top, logistic problems increase. Even those convoys allowed in Gaza are interrupted by bombs, looting and destroyed roads. Since there is a lacquer of diesel, it is difficult for people to collect flour or operate cold chains. Thus, even stocks in Gaza are largely inaccessible in the depot. The price of bread is exploded.
Sea aid convoy
The Amounthea Yojana, a sea corridor for the Emergency from Cyprus to Gaza, which was launched more than a year ago, did not have a reliable supply. Although in March 2024, more than 100 tonnes of food was supplied through a Temporary Pier to the north of Gaza, in the beginning of 2024, operations were stopped after killing seven non-profit World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers.
In May 2024, the US Army began using a floating jetty built from the coast of Gaza and planned to distribute among 90 and 150 trucks a day. Around 9,000 tonnes of humanitraian aid was able to enter Gaza through Gaza, which was in operation for about 20 days. But the operation was constantly disrupted by adverse weather, security issues and looting. In July 2024, US authorities placed the mission to end.
Recent attempts by small NGOs to provide assistance to Ghazan have so failed. On 2 May, the ship Vivek, run by the Freedom Flotila alliance, made Gaza his way for food and medicines. It had to be returned due to damage and since then no civil aid has reached the convoy from the ship to Gaza.
Risk of famine in the coming weeks
Even before the total blockade of Israeli of humanitarian aid, more than two-thirds of Gaza population depended on international aid. The last 11 weeks have already increased the situation. For the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (FAO), 93% (1.95 million people) were classified as BIN in “crisis or worse (IPC phase 3 or above)” between April 1 and May 10. Thesis was, 12% (244,000 people) IPC Phase 4 (emergency) had “IPC Phase 5 (West / Famine))” and 44% (925,000 people). ,
The FAO said on the ITTS website, “For the period of the project from 11 May to the end of September 2025, the entire population in Gaza expects a crisis or poor food insecurity (IPC phase 3 or above).”
“Integrated Food Safety Stage Classification (IPC) Definition famine is in the form of a condition in which at least one of the five houses has extreme lack of food and facial starvation and destruction, resulting in acute malnutrition and extremely important level of death,” it says in its fact magazine.
The fact is that Gaza requires about 1.300 tonnes of food every day to supply 2.2 million people with an average of 2.100 kcal. A standard aid truck takes about 25 tonnes, which means that about 50 to 60 trucks per day will be required for food alone. To be imported as water, fuel, drugs and hygiene products, United Nations organizations estimate that at least 500 trucks are required every day. If the flow lives on 100 trucks and the distribution issues continue, then the population of Gaza is at risk of famine in the coming weeks.
