Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan says Israel has been violating several provisions of the first stage of the ceasefire agreement.
Some of the breaches, as outlined by Hamdan in a televised statement, include:
- Israeli forces violated the ceasefire 962 times, killing 116 Palestinians during the truce.
- Israel allowed an average of 23 fuel trucks daily instead of 50.
- Israel did not allow commercial imports of fuel.
- Israel only allowed 15 mobile homes into Gaza, instead of 60,000 as stipulated by the deal.
- Nine heavy equipment machines to remove the rubble were let into Gaza, while at least 500 were needed.
- Reconstruction material and medical equipment were restricted.
- Israel did not allow the restarting of the power station.
