The Gaza Government Media Office on Monday denounced the deliberate policy of starvation and chaos imposed by the Israeli occupation, revealing that only a small fraction of urgently needed humanitarian aid has been allowed into the besieged territory.

In a statement, the office said just 674 trucks entered Gaza between July 27 and August 4, despite Israeli claims of having resumed humanitarian deliveries. "After the Israeli occupation forces announced the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries, 674 trucks entered the Gaza Strip over eight days, starting July 27, instead of the 4,800 that were supposed to meet the minimum needs of the population," the statement said.

Gaza’s authorities estimate that no fewer than 600 trucks per day are required to provide basic necessities like food, medicine, and fuel to a population already devastated by months of siege, bombardment, and displacement. This implies that only 14% of the minimum daily humanitarian needs are being met.

The statement also accused Israeli forces of overseeing or facilitating the looting of aid trucks and “sowing chaos” during distribution efforts.

Starvation under siege

On July 23, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sounded the alarm on the escalating hunger crisis in Gaza. "Acute malnutrition affects over 10% of the population, and more than 20% of pregnant and breastfeeding women tested suffer from often severe forms of malnutrition," he stated, warning that the situation is deteriorating rapidly as aid remains restricted and access to those in need is blocked.

While "Israel" announced on July 26 that it would permit international aid to resume under the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the effort has been largely symbolic. Distribution remains tightly controlled, and the majority of aid is funneled through the southern areas, leaving northern and central Gaza, where destruction is most severe, effectively cut off.

Israeli forces have also repeatedly opened fire on Palestinians gathering for food assistance, with the current death toll now exceeding 1,300.

The Gaza Government called on the international community to break its silence and act decisively. It urged immediate pressure on Israel to lift the blockade, allow unrestricted aid access across all regions of Gaza, and end its collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
