Gaza needs massive boost in emergency aid after ceasefire, UN relief chief says
- On Saturday, the United Nations' aid chief took stock of the monumental task of restoring basics in the Gaza Strip, where more than two million Palestinians live amid ruins from two years of fighting.
- Just over a week since US President Donald Trump helped broker a truce, Israel has kept Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt closed while hundreds of trucks enter via Israeli checkpoints.
- On Thursday, figures show some 50 trucks carrying aid crossed into Gaza from Israel, while the UN's 60-day plan aims to deliver a million meals daily and rebuild health services.
- Israel returned the bodies of 15 Palestinians under the truce and released some 2,000 Palestinian detainees, many held without charge or trial.
- Medics reported bodies returned showed signs of torture, and despite the ceasefire, Gaza's civil defence agency recovered nine Shaaban family members' bodies after Israeli troops fired on a bus Saturday.
