UN says only 906 aid truckloads reached Gaza since Israel’s Rafah operation

The United Nations says only 906 truckloads of humanitarian aid have reached Gaza since Israel began its military operation in the Rafah area on May 7. Access remains extremely limited, with a famine looming amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas. Egypt has agreed to temporarily allow aid and fuel into Gaza via Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing after the U.S. called for reopening the border. The UN says at least 500 trucks of aid per day are needed in Gaza. PHOTO: REUTERS
