of the 251 deaths, 108 are children, according to data published this Saturday by the Gaza Ministry of Health.

Under international pressure, Israel announced at the end of July "humanitarian breaks" on some routes to allow aid to enter, but local authorities have reported that much of the cargo is looted by citizens and armed groups before it is distributed.
According to humanitarian organizations, at least 500 trucks a day (about 25 tons each) should be put into the Strip to meet needs. However, according to official Israeli data, the day they entered between 50 and 100 in June, from humanitarian interruptions they began to enter 200 a day and now the figures are around 300 a day. In any case, the Gaza Government questions and significantly reduces these numbers.
