Aid trucks begin entering Gaza through the Rafah Corridor

20 aid trucks carrying medicine, medical equipment and some food are due to enter Gaza today: Hamas Media

Aid trucks began entering Gaza through the Rafah Corridor.


Aid trucks have reportedly begun arriving in Gaza through the Rafah crossing, which connects Egypt and the Gaza Strip.


In this regard, the US Embassy says that they have information that aid trucks started entering Gaza through the Rafah Corridor at 10 am local time.


Twenty assistance trucks bringing medical supplies, medications, and some food are scheduled to arrive in Gaza today, according to the Hamas media office.


The arrival of Rafah relief trucks in Gaza has also been confirmed by Arab and Gulf media.



Earlier, the World Food Program's executive director demanded that humanitarian relief workers be allowed entry into Gaza, citing the catastrophic consequences of the prolonged violence on civilians there and the daily scarcity of food and water. In addition to other commodities and medications being in short supply, the shortage is getting worse.



Truckloads of food are waiting to be delivered to around 500,000 people, but because we cannot enter Gaza, the people there want aid, so we should be let to distribute it nevertheless, he said.



On the other hand, the United Nations agency working for Palestine says that since the beginning of the fighting in Gaza, 17 of its staff members have lost their lives, while there is a fear of an increase in these deaths.


It should be noted that the number of Palestinians martyred in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has exceeded 4100, while 1400 Israelis have also been killed in Hamas attacks.
