Aid entering Gaza during the truce is not “not sufficient”warns the UN. “Aid must be multiplied (…). Here, everything is emergency aid”, declared the Unicef spokesperson. He would require the arrival of “200 trucks [d’aide] per day for at least two months”, also affirmed the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). More than half of the enclave’s housing has been damaged or destroyed by the war, according to the UN, and 1.7 million of the 2.4 million residents have been displaced.
The truce extended for two more days. “The Palestinian and Israeli parties reached an agreement to extend the humanitarian pause in Gaza,” announced the spokesperson for Qatari diplomacy, Majed al-Ansari. This should allow the release of around 20 hostages and 60 additional prisoners.
