Is enough aid getting into Gaza?

Asked 3 days ago

Answer

Aid entering Gaza remains far below what is needed. Humanitarian agencies and local authorities report severe shortages, with only a fraction of promised trucks allowed in. Essential supplies like food, fuel, and medical materials are insufficient, and many families face ongoing hardship and health risks.
