Mr. John Whyte:

That is a good question because of course, again, their propaganda is very slick. They show their social media clips of Kerem Shalom and it looks like there are lots of trucks and lots of aid and they are saying that the UN needs to get its act together. What the UN, including UNRWA, showed back in January was that when there was a ceasefire and aid available at scale, 4,200 trucks per week were coming into Gaza. We had secure passage during the ceasefire period so we were able to deliver our supplies, at scale, to 1 million people in a couple of weeks. That is what UNRWA can do but since March there has been a blockade and no public order and the Israelis are only allowing a small amount of aid in. We have to remember that before the war, 700 trucks were coming into Gaza every day - 500 commercial and 200 humanitarian. What is coming in at the moment is only a fraction of that. On a typical day it is less than 50. Sometimes it can be up to 100 trucks, maybe. We had a blockade where nothing came in from March until the end of July which was enough for famine to be classified in Gaza city. We cannot make up for that. Even 700 trucks per day would not make up for that but what is coming in is less than that. The other issue is what is coming in. They are allowing one commercial supplier to bring in chocolate, biscuits and so on. This is not nutrition. This is not what people who are experiencing extreme malnutrition need to recover. It is easy for one side to say they are letting in supplies. What supplies and how much? The IPC will do its next phase of reporting and let us see what it has to say.
