Not even any attacks on aid workers have been reported, says Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN's disaster relief organization (Ocha), at a press conference in Geneva.

On Monday, over 900 trucks with aid were allowed into the Gaza Strip, on Sunday 630. According to the ceasefire agreement, at least 600 trucks per day are to be allowed to enter Gaza.

Looting of the small amount of aid that has been allowed in during the war has been a major problem for months. According to aid organizations, the thefts have been a consequence of Israel's attacks on the police forces in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
