Access to Aid in Gaza Was Dire.
Israel closed that crossing as well as the Rafah crossing, where a majority of aid had been coming in.
Nearly 300 aid trucks had crossed there in a single day just before the incursion.
COGAT, the Israeli military agency coordinating aid delivery, has said that increasing the amount of aid going into Gaza remains a priority.
But just a quarter of that amount arrives on average each day since the closure of Rafah crossing, according to U.N. data.
