Trucks carrying essential humanitarian aid for the beleaguered Gaza Strip crossed into the territory through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt. This development occurred on the 15th day of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The aid, managed by the Egyptian Red Crescent in coordination with various UN agencies, aims to address critical shortages of water, electricity, fuel, and food caused by the conflict. Rafah is the sole entry point into Gaza not controlled by Israel, permitted to allow aid following a request from the United States. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the vital importance of these aid deliveries, stating they are a lifeline for countless lives in Gaza.
