The Government Media Office in Gaza reported that only 986 humanitarian aid trucks have entered the territory since the ceasefire took effect, out of the 6,600 trucks originally agreed upon by Monday evening, October 20, 2025.
The convoys included 14 trucks carrying cooking gas and 28 trucks of fuel intended to operate bakeries, generators, hospitals, and other essential services amid a severe shortage of vital supplies that people in Gaza rely on for daily survival after months of blockade and systematic destruction caused by the Israeli genocide.
The office noted that the average daily entry of aid trucks since the ceasefire began is only 89, far below the 600 trucks per day stipulated under the agreement. Officials said this reflects an ongoing policy of suffocation, starvation, and humanitarian extortion affecting more than 2.4 million residents in Gaza.
Authorities stressed that these limited shipments fall far short of minimum humanitarian needs, emphasizing that Gaza urgently requires a steady daily flow of at least 600 trucks carrying food, medical supplies, relief materials, fuel, and cooking gas to ensure basic living conditions.
The Government Media Office confirmed its readiness to continue full coordination with international humanitarian and relief organizations to manage aid entry and ensure distribution across all governorates and vital facilities.
Earlier, the office called on the guarantors of the ceasefire to pressure "Israel" to allow the agreed humanitarian convoys, warning that delays could further worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in the Strip.
45 killed, 158 wounded in 24 hours in Gaza
"Israel" continues to blatantly violate the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, killing and wounding numerous Palestinians despite Hamas' adherence.
Two Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces east of Gaza City on Monday, as Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in the sector continue. A medical source at the Baptist Hospital reported that two Palestinians were killed after being targeted with live ammunition in the Al-Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
This occurred alongside a naval bombardment by Israeli gunboats off the coast of the city and the firing of weapons from occupation vehicles stationed to its east.
Al-Awda Hospital announced that over the past 24 hours, it received 24 fatalities and 74 injuries from Israeli shelling that targeted camps in the central Gaza Strip, after medical sources confirmed yesterday that occupation forces killed 44 Palestinians in various areas across the territory.
On the other hand, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that 57 fatalities, including 45 directly targeted by "Israel" and 12 recovered bodies, in addition to 158 wounded, arrived at the strip's hospitals over the past 24 hours.
This brings the toll of the Israeli war on Gaza to 68,216 martyred and 170,361 wounded since October 7, 2023. Meanwhile, the death toll since the latest ceasefire agreement reached on October 11 has reached 80 martyrs, 303 wounded, and 426 bodies extracted from under the rubble.
In light of the continuing Israeli violations of the ceasefire, the Government Media Office in Gaza stated that the Israeli occupation has committed a series of serious and repeated violations since the war was declared over, noting that by Sunday, there had been 80 documented breaches which flagrantly violate the ceasefire decision and international humanitarian law.
