UN unable to monitor aid into Gaza since May 5

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) says it has not been able to maintain a presence at the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossings since May 5, a day before Israel started it's assault on Rafah. 

According to the latest figures from Unrwa, only 60 UN humanitarian trucks have entered the Gaza Strip through the two crossing since May 5, an average of just 4 trucks per day.

At least 87 UN humanitarian trucks entered Gaza through these two crossing in April per day, still significitly less than the 500 trucks that would enter the Strip per day prior to Israel's war.
