    More over 1,100 assistance trucks enter Gaza – PRCS reports

    The Palestine Red Crescent reported that 1132 trucks carrying aid have reached the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire began on Friday.

    This means there are about 220 trucks that come through each day.

    Before the war, the head of the UN relief agency said that around 500 trucks were going into Gaza every day.

    Some organizations that help people in Gaza say they don’t have enough aid to give to all the people who need it.

    More update on this story soon…

  • Basic aid reaches northern Gaza; more needed – Charity

    Basic aid reaches northern Gaza; more needed – Charity

    The ceasefire has allowed 200 trucks a day to bring aid to Gaza, compared to 45 a day during the war. This information was reported by the Palestine Red Crescent to the media.

    Nebal Farsakh, who works for the Red Crescent, told our news-team that they have been able to give supplies to northern Gaza, where there has been a lot of fighting. Before, they were not allowed to give help there.

    Farkash thinks the help is only a little bit of help for people in need, but more help is necessary. However, he believes it can still make a difference for the many people in northern Gaza.

    ”The situation is really bad and we really need help right now.”
