Rafah Border Crossing: Aid Trucks Enter Gaza Strip Amidst Israel-Hamas Conflict

The first humanitarian aid convoy since the outbreak of war in Gaza has entered the besieged territory through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt. The convoy, consisting of 20 trucks, includes life-saving supplies that will be received by the Palestinian Red Crescent. The United Nations has emphasized the urgent need for sustained and scaled-up aid delivery, as the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. Israel has imposed a total blockade and airstrikes on Gaza, demanding the release of hostages taken by Hamas before allowing aid to enter from its territory.
