What is happening with Israel aid?

Asked 4 hours ago

Answer

Israel has reduced the number of aid trucks allowed into Gaza to 300 per day, half the amount agreed in the ceasefire, citing delays in the return of hostage bodies by Hamas. This has led to a worsening humanitarian crisis, with aid agencies and the UN calling for more access and urgent increases in aid deliveries.
