Over 10K aid trucks entered Gaza since ceasefire: UN

CAIRO – 6 February 2025: Over 10,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza since the ceasefire, delivering life-saving supplies such as food, medicine, and tents, said UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher on his X account.

About to cross into Northern Gaza with a convoy of aid. We’ve moved over 10,000 trucks in the two weeks since the ceasefire, a massive surge.

Thank you to the many people making it possible to get these trucks of vital, lifesaving food, medicine, and tents through.

In another tweet, Fletcher said that he made a visit to the devastated Gaza Strip due to the Israeli genocidal war on the strip and found that the scale of destruction and suffering is beyond his “worst fears.”

Since the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel came into force on January 19, 2025, humanitarian relief efforts continue to flow into the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing, as relief convoys from Egypt, the Arab world, and international relief organizations continue to provide the necessary support to citizens in Gaza who are suffering from the repercussions of the war, the blockade, and the difficult conditions they are living in.

On January 26, the largest humanitarian aid convoy moved from Egypt’s Cairo heading to the Gaza border crossing, through which it entered the Palestinian side two days later. This mission was organized by the Egyptian Zakat and Charity House, the Egyptian Food Bank, Long Live Egypt, and various Islamic charity organizations. Egypt Today interviewed some truck drivers about their experiences and their feelings.
