oPt: Under-capacity and out of time: 1,000 Days of limited aid access and humanitarian disaster in Gaza

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: Action for Humanity Please refer to the attached file. Today we mark 1,000 days of crisis in Gaza. Humanitarian NGO Action For Humanity has analysed publicly available records relating to aid accessing Gaza since October 7th, finding that there have been more days with no aid entering Gaza, than days when the UN minimum target for aid trucks (150 per day) was met. The full report is attached here. Further findings from the report: On just 12% of days, the "UN minimum target" was met On the average day, 76 trucks - just over 50% of the UN minimum aid truck target was met There were at least 142 days in which no aid at all was allowed into the enclave According to Action For Humanity CEO Othman Moqbel: "For the past 1000 days, the humanitarian system in Gaza has been forced to operate amid the destruction of the very infrastructure it depends on. Hospitals have been bombed and rendered inoperable, schools have become displacement shelters instead of places of learning, and roads that once connected communities have become de-facto frontlines. In a crisis that has killed over 70,000 people, the basic conditions for civilian life have been steadily dismantled, and it's clear that even the minimum amount of aid needed in these communities is not able to get in to Gaza. We demand an immediate end to the restrictions placed on humanitarian access in Gaza, and are calling for an increase in support from donors and supporters." From Action For Humanity programmes team members in Gaza: "The word ‘home' has vanished from the vocabulary of most families in the Gaza Strip“ “when we talk about a thousand days of war, we are talking about a crisis of thirst and contamination and all of this is merciless.” “Instead of our children holding pens, books, and notebooks, they are now holding water and jerrycans and running after aid trucks” “The war hasn't just destroyed buildings; the war is destroying the future of an entire generation.”
