The Israel-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing, the main entry point for incoming aid, has suffered from a bottleneck since Israeli ground troops moved into Rafah in early May.Palestinian support for Hamas rises The flow of aid in southern Gaza declined just as the humanitarian need grew. More than one million Palestinians, many of whom had already been displaced, fled Rafah after the invasion, crowding into other parts of southern and central Gaza.
A spokesman for Cogat said it was the UN’s fault that its cargos stacked up on the Gaza side of Kerem Shalom. He said the agencies have “fundamental logistical problems that they have not fixed”, especially a lack of trucks.
