On Tue, Oct 17, 2023, aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing with Egypt following Israel's decision to reopen this critical access point to the outside world. The trucks are en route to the Kerem Shalom crossing for Israeli inspection, where they will await permission to enter the territory.
The reopening of the Rafah crossing is anticipated to mark the second phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. However, it remains unclear when the crossing will be fully operational or if it will facilitate the movement of goods and people into and out of the region.
On Tue, Oct 17, 2023, aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing with Egypt following Israel's decision to reopen this critical access point to the outside world.
The situation in Gaza is dire, with the United Nations highlighting the urgent need for substantial deliveries of fuel, food, medicine, and tents for the population exceeding 2 million. While some aid has managed to pass through the crossing, numerous trucks have been queued for months, awaiting entry.
