The flow of food aid into Gaza has decreased significantly, with only about 130 trucks delivering supplies daily in September, compared to the 600 needed to avoid famine.

This rule requires relief organizations to provide passport details and accept liability for any inaccuracies. Relief agencies are contesting this requirement, fearing it could lead to legal issues if aid is misused by groups like Hamas.
