The head of the Government Media Office in Gaza revealed on Saturday that the occupation has been promoting a false narrative for some time about improving the mechanism for delivering aid and increasing the number of trucks entering the Strip.

Salama Marouf pointed out that the World Food Programme WFP has denied the Israeli claims by announcing the entry of only 392 food trucks into Gaza in April so far.

🔴This week in #Gaza, 3 WFP convoys with enough food and wheat flour for nearly 80,000 people crossed into the north from the Erez crossing for the first time.

The UN organization clarified that this number is "almost the same rate as in March, but half the number compared to January."

Marouf emphasized that WFP's announcement aligns completely with the documented statistics of the government office, which confirm that the Israeli narrative adopted by the United States of aid deliveries reaching around 300 per day is "pure lies and falsification of reality."

He said that the total number of aid trucks entering daily on average is between 130-150 trucks, which actually represents approximately 25% of what it was before the aggression started last October.

According to records from the government office, the total number of aid trucks delivered into Gaza since the start of this month has remained below 2,800. This includes 744 trucks that entered via the Rafah crossing and approximately 2,000 trucks through the Karam Abu Salem crossing. However, the northern areas of Gaza received only 327 aid trucks during the same period.

Starvation war

Marouf stressed that the northern areas of Gaza are still suffering a real food crisis and a clear shortage of various commodities and that the limited delivery of some goods and materials is for traders with special coordination in return for large sums of money.

He added that the only way to stop the famine in northern Gaza and address the food crisis in the Gaza Strip is to open all crossings and ensure regular and sustainable access to aid and goods without restriction and to stop the aggression on Gaza.

The Media Office held the US administration and the Israeli occupation responsible for continuing the starvation war, preventing the entry of aid, and subjecting civilians to pressure through food restriction, which goes against international and humanitarian laws.

It called on all international and human rights organizations and all free world countries to pressure the US administration and the Israeli occupation to open all Gaza crossings to allow the entry of 1,000 aid trucks daily to end the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Strip.
