September had the lowest number of lorries recorded since the first month of the war, with only 53 lorries per day
I’m not sure how they got their numbers. I checked the Humdata site it shows 2905 trucks in September and 3096 trucks in August. Averaging around 97 and 100 trucks per day respectively. The article’s graph also shows May had more trucks than June which doesn’t match the data I saw.
I think the data I linked is from the UN which is their stated source, maybe they’re filtering the data on some criteria.
Edit: I was listening to the security council meeting concerning the middle east today. Algeria and United Kingdom representatives mentioned the lowest amount of humanitarian trucks entered last month since the start of the war. I found the UN report it’s from.
According to OCHA, in September 2024, an average of only 52 humanitarian trucks entered the Gaza Strip per day. This is well below the pre-crisis average of 500 trucks per working day.
The OCHA link has a graph at the bottom with the same data as the BBC article. (The difference in numbers is due to some aid being withdrawn, denied, or impeded.)
