联合国官员警告，尽管停火协议促使援助物资运送有所增加，但以色列的限制措施严重阻碍了向加沙地带运送食物和其他人道主义物资。世界粮食计划署高级发言人指出，仅有两个过境点开放严重限制了援助数量，并强调需要全面、快速的准入以应对冬季来临和民众的巨大需求。目前，加沙北部仍面临饥荒风险，援助车队路线艰难。数千返回家园的巴勒斯坦人发现房屋被毁，只能在简陋条件下过冬。援助机构呼吁以色列允许更多物资进入，但以色列方面则指责哈马斯未能完全履行协议，并继续在加沙进行军事行动，导致停火后仍有人员伤亡。

humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza faces significant challenges due to Israeli restrictions. Only two crossing points are open, severely limiting the quantity of essential supplies like food that can be transported. This bottleneck is critical as winter approaches and the demand for aid is immense, with a UN official stating they are "racing against time."

The situation in northern Gaza remains dire, with the region previously confirmed to be experiencing famine conditions. Aid convoys face a slow and arduous route, particularly due to the continued closure of northern crossing points. Full access to all crossing points, especially in the north, and unimpeded passage on major roads across Gaza are crucial for efficient and large-scale aid distribution.

Thousands of Palestinians returning to northern Gaza have found their homes and communities completely destroyed by two years of bombing. Many are displaced and living in makeshift shelters, like crude structures built from salvaged bricks and mud, as they lack proper tents or housing. The urgency for aid is heightened by these harsh living conditions as winter sets in.

Despite the ceasefire, aid deliveries fall far short of the agreed-upon daily volume, with only 24% of the stipulated 600 trucks entering Gaza between October 10th and 31st. This insufficient influx of aid, coupled with ongoing Israeli military actions and the destruction of buildings, exacerbates the humanitarian crisis. The Israeli military's actions, including airstrikes, have led to Palestinian casualties even after the ceasefire.

Israel has criticized the aid situation, blaming Hamas for failing to return the bodies of all Israeli captives, which they claim violates the agreement. While Israel confirmed receiving the body of one captive after Hamas handed it over to the ICRC, the broader issue of aid access and adherence to the ceasefire terms remains a point of contention and a critical concern for humanitarian organizations.
