US PRESIDENT Donald Trump’s so-called Gaza ceasefire plan is failing six months on, five humanitarian groups have warned.

Most Gazans cannot afford food delivered into the territory by aid trucks, entire neighbourhoods lack water and hospital equipment regularly stops working due to fuel shortages, aid workers said.

A progress scorecard released by Danish Refugee Council, Norwegian Refugee Council, Oxfam, Refugees International and Save the Children found that the deal endorsed by UN security council resolution 2803 is failing.

Gaza-based Oxfam media officer Ghada Alhaddad told a press conference: “This word ceasefire doesn’t reflect the reality around us.

“Every morning I wake up to the same sounds that have defined our lives for far too long. 

“Explosions in the distance, gunfire, drones overheard — these are not the sounds of peace, they are the sounds of war. They are not the sounds of ceasefire, they are the sounds of a population that is still struggling to survive.”

She described how families who have lost their sources of income still ration food and entire neighbourhoods don’t have functioning water systems.

While media show trucks carrying aid into Gaza, a “larger proportion of the trucks are filled with commercial goods that are only accessible to people who have money to spare,” she said.

“The vast majority cannot afford the food that sits on the shelves in front of them.”

Oil shortages needed for hospitals and humanitarian aid see ambulances being delayed, water deliveries cancelled and hospital equipment shutting down, she added.

Save the Children International CEO Inger Ashing said: “At least two children a day have been killed or injured in the six months since the ceasefire for Gaza was agreed.

“This is not peace for children in Gaza.”
