The Gaza government accused Israel on Sunday (28/12/2025) of subjecting the Gaza Strip to a “slow death” and letting in only 41 percent of necessary humanitarian aid during the 80 days of the ceasefire, while Israeli authorities assured that all trucks agreed to in the ceasefire had reached the Palestinian enclave.
In a statement, the Gaza Strip government said Israeli forces killed 418 Palestinians and injured another 1,141 during the ceasefire that took effect on October 10, committing “serious and systematic violations of the agreement” and its humanitarian protocol.
Among the 969 violations cited are 298 direct shootings at civilians, 54 incursions by military vehicles into residential areas, 455 bombings and “selective attacks” on unarmed civilians and their homes, and 162 bombings and destruction of homes, institutions and civilian buildings.
Only access 10 percent of the fuel
In the humanitarian field, he assures that Gaza “is facing a slow death” since Israel “has not provided even the agreed minimum amounts of aid.”
He indicates that in 80 days only 19,764 relief trucks have arrived out of the 48,000 that were supposed to arrive (41 percent), an average of about 250 per day, compared to the 600 he cites as necessary.
“This has resulted in ongoing severe shortages of food, medicine, water and fuel and exacerbated the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,” the government says.
Regarding fuel, he reports that only 425 of the 4,000 trucks scheduled to enter were registered, with an average of 5 of the 50 he claims were scheduled per day in the agreement, which is just 10 percent.
As a result, hospitals, bakeries and water and sanitation systems have been “practically paralyzed,” he says.
Israel: between 600 and 800 trucks per day
COGAT, the Israeli military organization that monitors the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip, said in response to EFE’s request that between 600 and 800 aid trucks have entered the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire came into force, contrary to the Gaza Strip government’s claims.
Of them, “about 70 percent are transporting food, while the rest are transporting medical equipment, shelter, tents, clothing and other essential humanitarian assistance,” this organization says.
And he adds that this is in line with Israel’s commitment in the ceasefire agreement to facilitate the entry of 4,200 aid trucks per week (600 per day).
Regarding food trucks, the Israeli authority says that around 30,000 trucks – more than 500,000 tons – entered the Gaza Strip during the ceasefire period.
