In September, UN and INGO aid throughput decreased by 44% compared to the 2026 Q2 monthly average. This reduction was primarily attributed to holiday-related disruptions affecting the Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem crossing. Out of 2,044 trucks manifested, only 1,460 (72%) were successfully processed.

The substantial decline in aid throughput poses a significant challenge to humanitarian operations, potentially limiting the delivery of essential supplies. Funding for humanitarian activities remains well below requirements.

The reduced flow of aid trucks likely led to delays in the distribution of humanitarian assistance, affecting populations reliant on these supplies. The specific impact on access to services or food security is not detailed.

The specific types of aid affected by the throughput reduction are not covered, nor is the impact on different population groups. Information on health, displacement, or protection concerns is also absent.
