UN reports ‘real progress’ in Gaza aid delivery amid ceasefire
The United Nations has reported major improvements in aid delivery to the Gaza Strip following the implementation of a ceasefire
NEW YORK, United States (MNTV) – The United Nations has reported major improvements in aid delivery to the Gaza Strip following the implementation of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, saying its “humanitarian scale-up in Gaza is well underway.”
“For the first time since March, cooking gas entered the Strip,” the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement Sunday, adding that “more tents for displaced families, frozen meat, fresh fruit, flour and medicines also crossed into Gaza throughout the day.”
The agency noted that the UN and its partners distributed “hundreds of thousands of hot meals and bread bundles — both in the south and in the north,” while access restrictions eased enough to allow medical supplies to be pre-positioned where needed most.
OCHA said teams were also assessing roads for explosive hazards and assisting displaced families in flood-prone areas as winter approaches.
It confirmed that Israel has approved additional aid movements, bringing the total cleared pipeline to about 190,000 metric tons of food, shelter materials and medicine.
“This is just the beginning,” OCHA said, pledging to expand deliveries “to virtually everyone across Gaza.”
