Israel Limits Aid to Gaza Amid Ongoing Crisis
Only 674 aid trucks have been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip over the past eight days since the border crossings were reopened on July 27, 2025, according to the Government Information Office in Gaza. This number falls significantly short of the estimated 4,800 trucks needed to address the area’s urgent humanitarian requirements, reports 24brussels.
The office noted that the daily average of incoming trucks remains at 84, meeting merely 14 percent of the minimum necessary aid. It has condemned the widespread looting of the aid, attributing the ongoing crisis to a deliberate strategy by the occupying forces aimed at exacerbating conditions of chaos and hunger in the region.
UNICEF highlighted the tragic toll on children, revealing that an average of 28 children are killed daily in Gaza due to continuous bombings and the devastating effects of prolonged starvation that has persisted for more than 660 days. The organization stated, “Death by bombardments. Death by malnutrition and starvation. Death by lack of aid and vital services. In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day – the size of a classroom – have been killed (…) Gaza’s children need food, water, medicine and protection. More than anything, they need a ceasefire, NOW.”
Reports also indicate that social media platforms are restricting visibility of distressing images depicting the humanitarian crisis, exacerbating efforts to raise awareness. As surfaced in recent tweets, such platforms are flagging and removing content portraying the suffering of Gazan children as “sensitive,” thereby limiting exposure to their plight.
The situation in Gaza remains critical as civilian casualties mount and the gap between the required humanitarian assistance and what is actually delivered continues to widen. As international observers call for an urgent ceasefire and an increase in humanitarian aid, the repercussions of the prolonged conflict continue to challenge the resilience of Gazan society.
