"So, the last few days we have seen a lot of positive changes in the situation. With the ceasefire, it has offered us an opportunity to scale up our assistance the way that we haven't been able to do before. With the access impediments, many of them have now been removed. We can reach areas that we couldn't reach before. So, when I talk to people now, there is a lot of positive thoughts, a lot of thinking about the future, something that people weren't doing before. They are now finally able to go back to places from which they were displaced, they can open shops, they are discussing what they will do next month, next year, and so forth. And there is just a general positive outlook on life, because now we have this ceasefire and we have this really great opportunity to scale up."

"In terms of humanitarian aid, I was in Kerem Shalom on Sunday. I spent all day there, and I saw many, many trucks getting loaded, approaching Kerem Shalom empty, then they were loaded, then they would leave, and more would come, and this continued all day long. Many supplies entered. I saw things like even frozen meat. I saw fresh produce, bananas, potatoes, these kinds of things. There was of course also a lot of flour, a lot of regular food parcels, also medical supplies, assistance and shelter supplies. We saw tents. We saw tarps. So, all of the things that we need to prioritize the most vulnerable."

"What we have seen also in the past few days is the ease with which we can move around. So, when I came to Kerem Shalom, we received the green light instantaneously, and so, it was very easy to move, it was very easy to come back. And this is something that we're seeing more with these restrictions being relaxed. So, we're really looking forward to harnessing this opportunity and making sure that we don't waste any time to bring all these supplies every day to deliver them to the people in need. So, we'll be focusing on specifically vulnerable groups to make sure that they receive the assistance that they need to receive."

The ceasefire deal reached between Israel and Hamas has allowed humanitarian workers to scale up aid delivery to displaced Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip, Olga Cherevko, spokeswoman of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Gaza, said on Tuesday.

The ceasefire, brokered by the United States, Türkiye, Qatar and Egypt, went into effect last Friday after more than two years of Israeli bombardments that caused famine, left the enclave in ruins, and killed almost 70,000 people, with the UN, academic experts and international aid groups warning Israel may have committed genocide and other crimes against humanity.

For now, however, international bodies are focused on providing long-overdue aid for the enclave's suffering population.

"So, the last few days we have seen a lot of positive changes in the situation. With the ceasefire, it has offered us an opportunity to scale up our assistance the way that we haven't been able to do before. With the access impediments, many of them have now been removed. We can reach areas that we couldn't reach before. So, when I talk to people now, there is a lot of positive thoughts, a lot of thinking about the future, something that people weren't doing before. They are now finally able to go back to places from which they were displaced, they can open shops, they are discussing what they will do next month, next year, and so forth. And there is just a general positive outlook on life, because now we have this ceasefire and we have this really great opportunity to scale up," said Cherevko.

On Tuesday, the OCHA said Israeli authorities allowed 817 truckloads of relief into Gaza on Sunday. On that day, Cherevko was on the site and witnessed the steady flow of aid through the Kerem Shalom crossing reaching Gaza.

"In terms of humanitarian aid, I was in Kerem Shalom on Sunday. I spent all day there, and I saw many, many trucks getting loaded, approaching Kerem Shalom empty, then they were loaded, then they would leave, and more would come, and this continued all day long. Many supplies entered. I saw things like even frozen meat. I saw fresh produce, bananas, potatoes, these kinds of things. There was of course also a lot of flour, a lot of regular food parcels, also medical supplies, assistance and shelter supplies. We saw tents. We saw tarps. So, all of the things that we need to prioritize the most vulnerable," Cherevko said.

With relaxed restrictions following the ceasefire, aid workers have moved quickly to take advantage of streamlined entry.

"What we have seen also in the past few days is the ease with which we can move around. So, when I came to Kerem Shalom, we received the green light instantaneously, and so, it was very easy to move, it was very easy to come back. And this is something that we're seeing more with these restrictions being relaxed. So, we're really looking forward to harnessing this opportunity and making sure that we don't waste any time to bring all these supplies every day to deliver them to the people in need. So, we'll be focusing on specifically vulnerable groups to make sure that they receive the assistance that they need to receive," said Cherevko.
