In September, the throughput of UN and INGO aid through Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem decreased by 44% compared to the monthly average of the second quarter of 2026. This reduction was primarily attributed to holiday-related disruptions. A total of 2,044 trucks were manifested to cross on operational days, with 1,460 trucks (72%) successfully crossing.

The substantial decrease in aid throughput raises concerns about the consistent delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need. Funding for the humanitarian response remains well below requirements.

The reduced flow of aid trucks likely impacted the availability of essential supplies and services for the affected population.

The specific types of aid affected by the throughput reduction are not detailed in the provided reports.
