Israel has failed to meet its commitments under the Gaza ceasefire deal, allowing in only around half the agreed volume of humanitarian and commercial goods each month since March, Israeli military data shows.

Data obtained by Haaretz newspaper showed a growing shortfall in food deliveries to Gaza, alongside severe shortages of medical supplies, tents and materials to repair damaged infrastructure. Torrential rains have flooded displacement camps, leaving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in increasingly dire conditions.

Under the ceasefire deal, Israel pledged to allow 4,200 vehicles carrying humanitarian and commercial goods into Gaza each week, equivalent to roughly 18,200 a month.

Deliveries were to include food, fuel, medical supplies and equipment, shelter materials and equipment to repair essential infrastructure.

Data supplied by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (Cogat) to the US-led International Gaza Support Center (IGSC) show that Israel allowed about 4,700 trucks into Gaza in March, rising to 5,300 in April and more than 9,600 in May.
