Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) says Israel continues to choke the flow of aid into the besieged enclave, accusing it of breaching the ceasefire agreement.

Since the truce took effect on 10 October, an average of just 145 commercial and aid trucks have entered Gaza daily, only 24 percent of the 600 trucks agreed upon in the deal. Between 10 and 31 October, a total of 3,203 trucks crossed into Gaza, including 639 commercial vehicles, 2,564 carrying aid, 84 loaded with diesel fuel, and 31 with cooking gas.

“We strongly condemn the Israeli occupation’s obstruction of aid and commercial trucks and hold it fully responsible for the worsening and deteriorating humanitarian situation faced by more than 2.4 million people in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing siege and arbitrary measures that impede the flow of essential goods,” the GMO said in a statement.
