07:27: Humanitarian situation still difficult
In six days, 74 aid trucks arrived, from neighboring Egypt, in the Palestinian territory of 362 km2, subject to “a complete siege” which deprives its 2.4 million inhabitants of water, food and electricity, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Thursday evening. That is much less than the 500 trucks a day which arrived, before the conflict, in Gaza, already subject to an Israeli blockade since Hamas came to power in 2007.
