US Claims Gaza Aid Surge, Palestinians and Humanitarian Organizations Confirm ‘Engineered Starvation’ by Quds News Network

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Thursday since the start of the ceasefire, only 28 percent of the agreed-upon number of aid trucks have been allowed to enter, totalling 4,453 vehicles, far below the promised 15,600, amounting to 171 trucks per day.

“These limited quantities fall far below the minimum humanitarian threshold,” the Office said, calling for the immediate entry of at least 600 trucks daily to provide essential supplies such as food, medicine, fuel, and cooking gas. The Office also accused Israel of “engineered starvation,” saying Israel has banned more than 350 basic food items, including eggs, meat, cheese, vegetables, and nutritional supplements, while permitting low-value products such as soft drinks, chocolate, and crisps sold at inflated prices. “This proves that the occupation is deliberately implementing a policy of food manipulation as a weapon against civilians,” the Office said.
