Since the start of the war on October 7, the vast majority of aid reaching the Palestinian territory has been delivered by trucks. Drastic controls on trucks by Israel are the main reason for the slow delivery, according to humanitarian organizations.

Of the 297,000 tonnes of aid received so far, 200,000 are food: flour, milk, bread, lentils, rice. The United States, Jordan, France and Egypt resort to airdrops. And US President Joe Biden said he had ordered the US to establish a military port in Gaza.
