Relief trucks started to enter the Gaza Strip when the Rafah gate was opened.

 Rafah crossing was opened and aid trucks have already begun entering the Gaza Strip, coming from the Egyptian side of the crossing.

Today, the first humanitarian aid convoy entered Gaza since the beginning of the war, and it includes 20 trucks loaded with medicines, medical supplies, and a limited amount of food, with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) distributing them.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) called for the permanent opening of the crossing in light of preparations to transport the wounded for treatment abroad, and to bring aid through it under the auspices of the United Nations and international organizations.

Hamas considered that talk of bringing only 20 trucks of aid into the southern Gaza Strip was an American-Israeli attempt to throw ashes in the eyes and to deceive public opinion by solving the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

She stressed that the Gaza Strip needs much larger quantities of medical supplies and food and that approximately 500 trucks were entering the Strip daily, which is below the normal minimum required under the Israeli siege.

In turn, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, Mustafa Barghouti, said that the Gaza Strip needs 7,000 trucks, and added, “What will 20 trucks do for the Gaza Strip, which needs 500 trucks per day, and the current deficit in food, medicine, and electricity since October 7?” "It can only be covered by at least 7,000 trucks."
