In the wake of a fatal blast at a Gaza hospital, President Biden's talks with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have led to an agreement allowing approximately 20 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza via Egypt's Rafah crossing. Israel agreed under the condition that Hamas doesn't divert aid. The supplies, overseen by the UN, include vital resources like food and medicine, set to reach Gaza by Friday. Despite this, aid organizations warn it might not meet the urgent needs of Gaza's 2.3 million residents. Fears of regional escalation persist, with UK Prime Minister Sunak advocating for increased aid access during his visit.
