The United Nations confirmed that it received a notification from the Israeli occupation authorities indicating their intention to reduce the number of aid trucks scheduled to enter the Gaza Strip by half, from about 600 trucks that Israel had pledged to allow through after the ceasefire.
UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq stated at a press conference held yesterday evening, Tuesday, that the Israeli government's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories informed the organization in an official letter of its decision to reduce the number of trucks heading to Gaza, citing reasons related to the return of bodies.
Haq added: "We are aware of what was mentioned in the letter from the Israeli government's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories," noting that the UN is striving to deliver as much humanitarian aid as possible to Gaza.
He emphasized that the international organization calls on all parties to adhere to their commitments, including the return of the bodies of deceased prisoners, and to implement the remaining terms of the ceasefire agreement, foremost among them ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid to civilians in the sector.
