The Government Media Office in Gaza has confirmed that the Israeli occupation continues to evade implementing the terms of the ceasefire agreement by allowing only 986 aid trucks out of 6,600 trucks that were supposed to enter the Gaza Strip by the beginning of the week commencing 20 October 2025. Importantly, this is only 15% of the agreed amount.

The office explained that these figures reflect the continuation of the policy of siege, starvation and humanitarian blackmail. More than 2.4 million citizens in the Strip are existing in entirely untenable conditions. And, the office noted that only 89 trucks out of the 600 scheduled enter daily, which undermines the essence of the agreement to open the crossings and allow aid to flow freely and without hindrance.

The statement noted that the convoys that have arrived so far included only 14 trucks of cooking gas and 28 trucks of diesel, quantities that do not meet the minimum needs of bakeries, hospitals and vital facilities, given the acute shortage of fuel, food and medical supplies.

The office stressed that serious commitment to the ceasefire requires the immediate lifting of restrictions and ensuring the entry of at least 600 aid trucks per day, affirming the readiness of government agencies to fully coordinate with international institutions to ensure the flow of aid and its fair distribution to all governorates.

In their situation report, the UN aid agency most capable of administering aid, UNRWA, wrote:

UNRWA continues to face a ban on bringing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, pre-positioned outside Gaza, UNRWA has enough food parcels for 1.1 million people, flour for 2.1 million individuals, and shelter supplies for up to 1.3 million people.
