Gaza - Ma'an - On Saturday, the head of the government media office in the Gaza Strip, Salama Marouf, accused Israel of promoting what he described as a "false narrative" regarding the increase in the entry of aid into the Strip. Marouf said, in a statement, that the Israeli side 'has been promoting a false narrative for some time about introducing improvements in the mechanism for the passage of aid and increasing the number of trucks entering the Gaza Strip.' He pointed out that only between 130 and 150 aid trucks enter the Gaza Strip daily, with a total of 2,800 trucks since the first of April, saying that the number of trucks that have arrived in the northern Gaza Strip since the beginning of the month has not exceeded 327 trucks, according to the World Food Programme. He added: "This announcement by the World Food Program is completely consistent with our documented statistics, which confirm that the occupation's narrative about the improvement in the number of aid trucks, and the United States' adopt ion of this narrative and its talk of bringing about 300 aid trucks daily, is a complete lie and distortion of reality." He stated that the total amount of aid trucks entering daily 'actually represents approximately 25% of what was the case before the aggression.' Source: Maan News Agency
