00:00The population in Gaza is set to face another harsh winter,

00:04with nearly all of its 2.3 million residents still living in tents.

00:13nearly four weeks after the ceasefire took effect.

00:17According to the World Food Programme,

00:23where famine was confirmed in August.

00:26Israel says it is fulfilling its obligations under the truce,

00:29which calls for an average of 600 trucks of supplies to enter Gaza each day.

00:34It continues to blame Hamas for any food shortages,

00:37accusing them of stealing aid before it is distributed,

00:41the claim the group denies.

00:43Gaza's local administration, meanwhile,

00:44said only 145 trucks a day have been delivering supplies,

00:49with many failing to reach their destinations due to Israeli restrictions.

00:53The UN Humanitarian Affairs Agency reported that there is a continuing lack of fuel

00:57is also hampering nutrition efforts,

01:00with more than 60% of Gazans now cooking using burning waste,
