Reports Reveal Sharp Decline in Aid Entry to Gaza Amid Israeli Violations of Commitments

Recent data based on reports from the U.S. Coordination Center at Kiryat Gat expose Israel's failure to meet commitments regarding humanitarian aid and essential goods shipments into Gaza over the past eight months.
For the first time, official statistics highlight a significant drop in the number of aid trucks entering Gaza, despite ceasefire agreements stipulating approximately 4,200 trucks weekly (600 daily).
The initial compliance in January and February deteriorated sharply in subsequent months, with shipments often halved or less than the agreed maximum, exacerbating Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
Figures show about 4,700 trucks entered in March and 5,300 in April. Although there was relative improvement in June and September, entry numbers plunged again to around 6,500 trucks in October and under 4,000 by mid-November.
Gaza’s population depends heavily on aid, with food comprising 70 to 80 percent of total aid weight. Local production was devastated, and a tight siege prevents fishing and other food sources.
Israeli forces control distribution channels strictly, allowing only 13 local traders to bring goods, while excluding 36 humanitarian organizations for political and security reasons, complicating relief efforts.
Furthermore, the sector faces critical shortages in medical supplies and shelter materials due to stringent Israeli restrictions that delay aid and infrastructure repairs ahead of winter. Recent floods have worsened conditions in displaced persons’ camps.
Despite Israeli denials claiming humanitarian adherence, international and regional reports confirm oppressive, systematic Israeli policies reduce aid flow and employ aid as leverage against Gaza civilians.
