They walked away with sacks of flour and cardboard boxes of food, many dragging their precious cargo behind them in two-wheeled shopping carts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was an orderly sight that had become rare in the territory since the war began more than 15 months ago. Israeli <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/13\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-aid-us-israel.html\" title=\"\">restrictions<\/a> on aid, a security collapse that allowed <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/23\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-looting.html\" title=\"\">widespread looting<\/a> of aid trucks and other obstacles had combined to limit the food, water, tents, medicine and fuel that reached civilians amid an Israeli siege on the strip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the week since a cease-fire <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/14\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-ceasefire-what-we-know.html\" title=\"\">agreement<\/a> stopped the fighting in Gaza, Palestinians in Gaza and aid officials say that more food deliveries and other much-needed items are streaming in. The question now is how to maintain the amount of aid they say Gaza needs, despite many logistical challenges and uncertainties over how long the truce will hold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United Nations moved as much food into Gaza in three days this week as it did in the entire month of October, the interim head of the U.N. humanitarian office for Gaza, Jonathan Whittall, said in a briefing on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other U.N. agencies and aid groups were distributing medical supplies and fuel to power hospitals and water wells, among other types of assistance, and helping to repair critical infrastructure. Tents were set to enter soon, and bakeries were expected to start supplying bread by Friday, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since the start of the cease-fire, civilian police officers belonging to the Hamas government have re-emerged, which appears to have restored some security and order to the enclave. The show of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/23\/world\/middleeast\/hamas-gaza-israel-cease-fire.html\" title=\"\">Hamas control<\/a>, however, may complicate prospects for a durable peace in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">COGAT, the Israeli government agency that oversees policy in Gaza and the West Bank, did not respond to a request for comment, and Israel has said little publicly about aid since the cease-fire started. But Israel said throughout the war that it was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/16\/world\/middleeast\/israel-gaza-aid-us-warning.html\" title=\"\">not limiting aid into Gaza<\/a> and blamed humanitarian agencies for failing to distribute the supplies it admitted into the enclave after screening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In all, anywhere between about 600 and 900 truckloads of aid have arrived in Gaza each day since the cease-fire took effect on Jan. 19, dwarfing the few dozen trucks that had been entering daily in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By Tuesday, Kholoud al-Shanna, 43, and her family had received a bag of flour from the World Food Program, the first in two months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was welcome. But \u201cwe\u2019re still missing the basics,\u201d Ms. al-Shanna said. \u201cMy kids haven\u2019t had fresh vegetables in so long that they\u2019ve almost forgotten what they taste like. How are we supposed to survive on just flour?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Improvements were coming on that front, too. Before the war, Gaza was supplied with a mix of donated aid and goods for sale. Small amounts of imported fresh produce, meat and other food continued to be sold in markets until Israel <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/13\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-aid-us-israel.html\" title=\"\">banned<\/a> most commercial items late last year, arguing that Hamas was profiting off the trade. Some commercial goods have entered Gaza this week, according to aid workers, bringing fresh vegetables and even chocolate bars to markets at lower prices than shoppers have seen in many months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Distributing the aid once it enters Gaza remains a work in progress. Many roads are in ruins after 15 months of war, though Gaza municipalities are starting to clear debris. Unexploded ordnance still litters the enclave, making distribution and repairs dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About 500 trucks carrying a mix of aid and commercial goods entered Gaza each day before the war. The cease-fire agreement envisions 600 trucks entering each day, which officials say they will be hard-pressed to sustain on their own. .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt cannot be delivered just by the United Nations, no way,\u201d Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/26\/world\/middleeast\/unrwa-gaza-aid.html\" title=\"\">UNRWA<\/a>, the primary lifeline for Palestinian refugees, said days before the cease-fire took effect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">UNRWA\u2019s precarious situation is another potential hindrance: While U.N. officials say the agency is crucial to the aid effort because it forms the backbone of supply chains and services in Gaza, Israel has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/02\/world\/americas\/israel-unrwa-gaza-threat.html\" title=\"\">moved to ban<\/a> the agency over accusations that it shielded Hamas militants. Aid officials say there is nothing comparable to take its place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The biggest challenge of all is the sheer scale of the emergency. Though aid may be rolling in now, aid officials said, Gaza has been so lacking in assistance that it will take a deluge of supplies just to stabilize the population and prevent more deaths, to say nothing of eventual reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gaza will also need educational and psychological services and other support to begin to recover, officials say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The number of trucks recently entering Gaza \u201cis still a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of aid needed to catch up on what has been a massive dearth over the last year and a half,\u201d said Bob Kitchen, the vice president for emergencies at the International Rescue Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some obstacles are gradually yielding. Israel\u2019s evident willingness to usher in a surge of aid has resolved what aid officials and governments that donated assistance say was the biggest hurdle to getting Gaza what it needed. Saying its goal was to keep Hamas from resupplying through aid shipments, Israel had imposed stringent inspections on the assistance entering Gaza and restricted its movement once inside Gaza, frequently delaying or outright stopping delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aid workers no longer need to ask permission from the Israeli military to move around Gaza, except from south to north, speeding up the process. Before the cease-fire, many trucks designated to ferry aid to warehouses around the strip sat paralyzed for lack of fuel; now fuel is entering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel still prohibits agencies from bringing in a long list of items that aid officials say are vital to the emergency response but that Israel <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/13\/world\/middleeast\/unrwa-gaza-aid-trucks-israel.html\" title=\"\">deems \u201cdual use,\u201d<\/a> meaning they could also be used by Hamas for military purposes. That has included everything from scissors to tent materials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some of those restrictions have been lifted, however, aid officials say, and talks are continuing about lifting more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another problem plaguing aid distribution in Gaza for months was looting, which diverted much of the aid meant for civilians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The situation in Gaza deteriorated after the Israeli military invaded Rafah, in southern Gaza, in May, seeking to oust Hamas from what Israel said was one of its final strongholds. Hamas\u2019s security forces fled, and organized gangs \u2014 with no one stopping them \u2014 began intercepting aid trucks after they crossed into Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">International aid workers accused Israel of ignoring the problem and allowing looters to act with impunity. The United Nations does not allow Israeli soldiers to protect aid convoys, fearing that would compromise its neutrality, and its officials called on Israel to allow the Gaza police, which are under Hamas\u2019s authority, to secure their convoys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel, which has sought to destroy Hamas in Gaza, accused it of stealing aid and said the police were part of its apparatus. In the end, security broke down so badly that many aid groups kept their deliveries sitting at Gaza\u2019s borders rather than risk the dangerous drive into Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But fears that organized looting would continue after the cease-fire have eased. Policemen are once again being seen patrolling much of Gaza. While some people are still pulling boxes from trucks \u2014 scenes described by aid officials and witnessed by a New York Times reporter \u2014 it is now on a far smaller scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Palestinians in Gaza say that as aid becomes more widely available, people will have less incentive to loot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019ve noticed a clear improvement \u2014 more people are getting food parcels today,\u201d said Rami Abu Sharkh, 44, an accountant from Gaza City who had been displaced to southern Gaza. \u201cI hope it continues until theft is eliminated completely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Farnaz Fassihi<!-- --> contributed reporting from New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/24\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-israel-cease-fire-aid.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outside a warehouse in southern Gaza one day this week, a small crowd of men and boys waited their turn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gaza at Last Welcomes More Aid.
