Since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire took effect, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has delivered an average of 560 tonnes of food aid into Gaza each day. This daily flow represents hard-won progress for communities facing shortages of basic supplies after weeks of disruption.
Despite the scale of these deliveries, WFP warns that the volume remains far below the levels needed to meet rising hunger across the enclave. Aid workers describe scenes of families struggling with dwindling rations, highlighting a widening gap between supply and need.
Complicating the relief effort is the continued closure of northern crossings into Gaza City, where needs are most acute. Until these routes reopen, distributions cannot start in the city's north, leaving thousands waiting for the next food convoy.
Humanitarian agencies are calling on all parties to prioritize safe access and scale up daily deliveries. For digitally connected global citizens, understanding these logistics is key to supporting more effective aid—and advocating for solutions that ensure no one is left behind.
