Food and Other Vital Aid Surges Into Gaza After 15 Months of Scarcity
Briefly

The amount of humanitarian aid entering Gaza surged dramatically on Sunday, with more than 630 trucks entering the impoverished and hungry enclave on the first day of the cease-fire.
Tom Fletcher, the U.N. relief chief, stated that more than 300 of the trucks went to northern Gaza, where aid had been the most scarce and humanitarian officials have warned of a possible famine.
Relief agencies claimed that at least 200 trucks per day were required to provide essentials like food, medicines, and clean water, highlighting the urgent need for aid.
With the cease-fire taking effect, aid convoys entered Gaza without issues, and no attempts at stealing or looting the aid were reported on the first two days.
