Only five trucks from the UN agency carrying medical supplies were permitted to enter Gaza last week, stated WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in a post on X.
Over 34 trucks are currently held up in el-Arish, the nearest Egyptian city to the Rafah border crossing, with another 40 stationed in Ismailia, in north-eastern Egypt.
The UN and other international organizations continue to highlight the severe Israeli restrictions on aid delivery to the besieged enclave, where famine is spreading after more than nine months of conflict.
