Residents of Gaza City have expressed dismay over the lack of aid as international humanitarian experts warn of looming famine in the Palestinian enclave.
“Today, we are hearing in the news that aid has entered. We don’t have anything,” said Jamal Hassan, 46. “Today, children will sleep without dinner and drink salty water. This is the real famine the Palestinian people are now experiencing, and no one is paying attention.”
He added: “The talk of Netanyahu and some of his false discourse that the border has been opened and aid entered – these are all lies.”
After an 11-week blockade, Israel cleared nine trucks of aid on Monday – an amount described by the UN as a “drop in the ocean”.
