Devastated roads and lurking bombs hindering Gaza aid effort

Aid is pouring into the Gaza Strip two weeks after Hamas and Israel’s ceasefire was established.

The World Food Programme, the main UN food agency, reported that during the first four days of the ceasefire, Palestinians received more food than any other month of the conflict.

Since the ceasefire’s implementation, more than 32, 000 tonnes of aid have entered the area, entering through two crossings in the north and one in the south, according to the organization last week.

Bakeries have been opened, the agencies report, and high-energy biscuits handed out, while Gaza’s police have returned to the streets to help restore order.

But humanitarian groups say aid distribution is complicated by destroyed or damaged roads, Israeli inspections and the threat of unexploded bombs, which&nbsp, litter the landscape.
