The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that between 7 May and 23 May, only 906 truckloads of aid entered Gaza, amid warnings of a looming famine.
Roughly 800 of those truckloads were food supplies, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.
According to the OCHA, 143 trucks passed through the Israel-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing in Gaza's south. Sixty-two entered Gaza through the Erez crossing and 604 entered via the Western Erez crossing.
Just 97 truckloads entered through a US-built floating pier in central Gaza.
