Humanitarian aid set to reach Gaza from Egypt’s Sinai peninsula

Trucks carrying essential humanitarian supplies are set to reach Gaza from Egypt’s Sinai peninsula in the upcoming days, as confirmed by the White House. This decision followed President Joe Biden’s rapid trip to Israel after a tragic explosion occurred at a hospital in the besieged region.

After extensive discussions with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet, President Biden revealed that Israel had agreed to permit the opening of the Egypt-Gaza Rafah crossing for the delivery of urgently needed food, water, and medical supplies. However, this assistance is contingent on the condition that Hamas does not divert these humanitarian resources for its own purposes.

President Biden insisted on the critical needs of the people in Gaza, pointing out the necessity for food, water, medicine, and shelter in the region.
