Recommendation 8

8 Deferred Paragraph: 34

Increase massively food aid entering Gaza by opening more crossings and improving logistics systems.

Conclusion
Both of these issues would be lessened by a massive increase in food entering Gaza– flooding the market, as some aid workers have described it. Opening more crossings would allow more trucks to enter, but logistics systems must be improved so that Humanitarian situation in Gaza 19 more trucks can flow through each day. A system that on a bad day is restricting access to just a handful of trucks is not going to solve these massive problems.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government agrees on the need for future recovery and reconstruction led by Palestinians and promises to work with allies to bolster the Palestinian Authority, but it does not address immediate actions to increase food entry into Gaza.
