Hamas Releases Hostages and Aid Flows into Gaza Amidst Tensions

The first trucks carrying humanitarian aid have entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing, providing much-needed relief to the besieged enclave. However, aid workers emphasize that the supplies are only a fraction of what is required for the 2.2 million people living under the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. The situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, with hospitals on the verge of collapse and residents running out of food, water, and critical supplies. The release of two American hostages by Hamas has raised questions about the fate of the remaining hostages and the potential for Israeli troops to enter the enclave. World leaders gathered in Cairo for a peace summit on Gaza, while Israel continues its counterattack against Hamas.
