More than 100 trucks full of humanitarian aid are currently at the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, waiting to be allowed into Gaza, Al Arabiya reports.
The network says the trucks are slated to be allowed in at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
However, there have been a number of reports in recent days about Rafah reopening that proved to be false.
Israel has bombed the crossing several times in order to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid from reaching Gazans in order to further squeeze the enclave’s Hamas rulers following their October 7 onslaught.
