HIGHLIGHTS
• As of 26 May, since the limited resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza on 19 May, 294 trucks were delivered to Kerem Shalom from Port Ashdod. Among these, 189 trucks were collected from the crossing inside Gaza, 94 of which have arrived at their destination. These shipments included wheat flour for bakeries, nutritional products for children, and medical supplies. The resumption follows more than 10 weeks of suspension; the UN is advocating for at least 100 trucks to enter daily.
• Between 23 and 24 May, WFP-supported bakeries in Gaza produced and distributed over 81,000 bread bundles (around 162 MT) at more than 124 sites in the southern and middle areas, reaching an estimated average 200,000 people each day.
• While desperately needed aid is finally trickling into Gaza, the pace is far too slow to meet the overwhelming needs. Gaza families are at a breaking point, amid intensified fighting, waves of evacuation orders and population displacement. WFP has more than 130,000 mt of food in the pipeline as well as a functioning delivery network ready to provide assistance. An immediate surge in daily aid trucks and unrestricted access to safely collect and distribute food inside Gaza are critical before it is too late.
