WFP: Aid trucks entering Gaza are not enough
21 October 2023 09:10 BST
The 20 aid trucks that entered Gaza on Saturday morning carrying a limited supply of medicine and food are not enough, the executive director of the World Food Programme has said.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Cindy McCain said she hopes more aid will enter Gaza soon as an estimated 800,000 people need humanitarian relief.
It was not immediately clear for how much longer the border crossing between Egypt and Gaza would remain open.
Israel has bombarded Gaza and imposed a full siege on its civilian population for two weeks, cutting off water, food, electricity, fuel and aid from entering.
The Israeli campaign, which human rights groups say amounts to collective punishment, has killed more than 4,100 people and displaced one million more.
