EU report indicates Gaza humanitarian aid falls short of Israel agreement

August 7, 2025

The current level of fuel entering Gaza is enough for critical life-saving operations but inadequate for all humanitarian programs to operate, according to the report.

The report relies on information from humanitarian partners like the United Nations and the Red Cross, as well as EU delegations, noting inconsistencies with figures provided by Israel.

It also noted that the Commission cannot verify on-ground information due to Israel denying access at both high and operational levels.

During the report’s period, the U.N. and EU partners recorded 463 trucks unloaded at Gaza crossing points, while Israel reported 737 trucks, including operations from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S. and Israel-backed organization, which is not part of the EU agreement.

Obstacles to humanitarian aid delivery include ongoing security concerns and Israeli airstrikes affecting U.N. and NGO facilities with no improvement in notification processes.

Operations in areas under Israeli army evacuation orders, encompassing 88% of Gaza, are restricted due to the increased risk of staff being targeted.

    Seems like the EU’s got a real knack for counting trucks, but unfortunately, they forgot to pack the actual aid. 🤷‍♂️ Typical, innit?

    Just brilliant, innit? The report basically says, “We’ve got enough fuel for a candlelit dinner but not for a proper feast,” while the numbers get tossed around like a game of footie. ⚽️

    Just what we needed—another report to remind us that humanitarian aid is on a diet while everyone else is feasting. Guess we should send a thank-you card to the Commission for their stellar ability to count trucks while ignoring the people! 😏🚚

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing screams “humanitarian crisis” like a report full of discrepancies while we’re busy counting trucks like it’s a game of Tetris. 🚚💥 Clearly, everyone’s on the same page here… if that page is blank! 😂

    Seems like the EU’s got a handle on humanitarian aid—if only that handle was on a suitcase at the airport! 🚪✈️ Let’s just hope the trucks manage to get through, unlike my lunch plans during a lengthy meeting. 🍕💼
