Dr Tedros said only 200 to 300 trucks were going in daily as opposed to the 600 trucks daily that had been agreed during the ceasefire.&nbsp;Israel has not been allowing the stipulated amount of aid to enter.</p> <p>Israel also did not allow enough humanitarian aid in during its war, leading to a famine across Gaza. Therefore, significant amounts of food are needed to address the situation.</p> <p>"Although the flow of aid has increased, it's still only a fraction of what's needed," Dr Tedros added.&nbsp;</p> <p>Dr Tedros also lamented Israel's assault on Gaza's healthcare system. "There are no fully functioning hospitals in Gaza, and only 14 out of 36 are functioning at all," Dr Tedros said. "There are critical shortages of essential medicines, equipment and health workers".</p> </div> </div> </article>
