U.S. data reveals that nearly 700 aid trucks are entering Gaza daily, contradicting Hamas claims of Israeli blockade. The U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center reports an average of 674 humanitarian aid trucks moving through Gaza each day, with more than 15,000 loads of commercial goods and medicine delivered since the October 10 ceasefire began.
American officials on the ground confirmed that over one million Gazans have received food parcels during this period, with meal production in the territory increasing by 82 percent since late September. Access to essential services has also improved significantly, with Gazans receiving 143,000 medical consultations, 900 emergency surgeries, and more than 45 trauma referrals between the start of the ceasefire and October 31.
The humanitarian effort has boosted drinking water supplies by 130 percent in October alone, with aid workers now delivering approximately 17,000 cubic meters of potable water daily. Previously scarce items are returning to Gaza’s markets, including eggs, which became available last week for the first time since February. Medical supplies have also increased, with over 840 pallets entering Gaza recently, including critical maternal and neonatal health equipment.
These figures stand in stark contrast to Hamas’s assertions that “only 4,453 trucks have entered Gaza out of 15,600 that should have entered since the start of the ceasefire,” which would amount to just 171 trucks per day. The terrorist organization’s media office has claimed Israel is pursuing “a policy of suffocation, starvation, and political blackmail” against Palestinians in Gaza, alleging that items like eggs remain unavailable—despite evidence to the contrary.
U.S. officials characterize these discrepancies as deliberate misinformation designed to undermine the ceasefire agreement and divert attention from Hamas’s own interference with aid distribution. “The reality is that Hamas leadership has no control over its followers, and looting of humanitarian aid trucks continues to be a problem,” said a senior administration official, who dismissed the Hamas-provided figures as “fake news.”
Federal investigators are currently examining evidence that Hamas systematically diverts U.N. aid in Gaza. Reports indicate the group has “commandeered U.N. aid trucks” and ensured supplies were “directly delivered to Hamas officials.” U.S. Central Command corroborated these allegations in late October, announcing that one of its drones had recorded Hamas members looting an aid convoy.
White House spokesman Dylan Johnson emphasized that the U.S.-compiled data demonstrates the effectiveness of the aid effort. “These figures show that the Trump administration is serious about treating the people of Gaza with dignity and respect,” Johnson said. “The United States is leading a historic effort to address the critical needs of Gazans right now.”
This pattern of misinformation is consistent with Hamas’s tactics since the conflict began following the October 7 attacks two years ago. Gaza’s Hamas-controlled health authorities have repeatedly published exaggerated claims about humanitarian conditions, prompting both the United Nations and Biden administration to accuse Israel of creating a famine that independent verification failed to confirm. The group has also been accused of inflating civilian casualty figures to suggest Israel is intentionally targeting non-combatants.
“Hamas continues to spread lies through false stats to paint a false picture of starvation to undermine the ceasefire and peace efforts,” explained a U.S. official working on Middle Eastern issues. “Sadly, many in the media remain useful idiots by publishing these Hamas talking points.”
The significant discrepancy between verified aid deliveries and Hamas’s public claims highlights the ongoing information warfare that accompanies the physical conflict in Gaza, with humanitarian assistance becoming a contentious focal point in international discussions about the region.

This report provides some encouraging news about the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. It’s good to see the U.S. confirming the delivery of essential supplies like food, medicine, and clean water, contradicting Hamas’ claims. Hopefully, this aid will help alleviate the suffering of Gazan civilians.
It’s good to see the U.S. confirming the flow of aid into Gaza, but I remain somewhat skeptical of the claims made by both sides. I hope independent observers can provide a more objective assessment of the situation on the ground and the real impact of the aid efforts.
The increase in medical consultations, emergency surgeries, and trauma referrals is a positive sign that the aid is reaching those who need it most. However, I wonder about the long-term sustainability of this effort and whether it will be enough to address the deeper challenges facing the Gazan population.
While it’s positive to hear about the increased delivery of aid, the situation in Gaza remains quite dire. I hope the international community can continue to work towards a more sustainable solution that addresses the underlying political and economic challenges facing the region.
You’re right, the long-term stability and development of Gaza is crucial. Aid is important, but addressing the root causes of the conflict is essential for lasting peace and prosperity.
The data on the increased delivery of aid and improved access to essential services is encouraging. However, I’m curious to hear more about the distribution and utilization of these resources within Gaza. Ensuring equitable access will be key to maximizing the impact of this humanitarian effort.
