The Israeli military announced that 98 aid trucks carrying flour, baby food and medical equipment entered the Gaza Strip on Monday and Tuesday after an 11-week blockade.
Despite this breakthrough, UN officials report that logistical hurdles have prevented a single bag of flour or medical kit from reaching Gaza’s soup kitchens, bakeries, markets or hospitals.
"None of this aid \u0013 that is a very limited number of trucks \u0013 has reached the Gaza population," says Antoine Renard, country director of the World Food Program.
For young global citizens and changemakers tracking humanitarian crises, the gap between delivery and distribution highlights a critical challenge: securing safe corridors not just for trucks, but for relief to reach people in need.
As pressure mounts on Israel to streamline aid flows, the world will be watching whether the next convoys finally make it from the gates of Gaza into the hands of those who have been waiting for weeks.
