Israeli authorities report that more aid trucks are entering the Gaza Strip, with daily deliveries reaching around 300 trucks, leading to a noticeable drop in food prices at local markets. However, humanitarian organizations caution that bottlenecks and security issues are preventing much of this aid from reaching the most vulnerable populations. United Nations officials highlight that many trucks are intercepted before reaching their destinations, and limited routes and lengthy checkpoint waits continue to impede relief efforts. While Israel has pledged to increase the number of trucks and open more routes, relief groups stress that the situation remains dire, with many Palestinians still unable to afford basic food items despite the recent influx of supplies.
