Aid trucks have started moving toward Gaza from Egypt, the Egyptian state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV reports, after mounting international pressure and warnings from relief agencies of starvation spreading in the enclave.

With the Rafah Crossing shut, the trucks will go via Israel to be checked before they enter the Strip.

The Israeli military has said that “humanitarian corridors” will be established starting today for safe movement of United Nations convoys delivering aid to Gazans and that “humanitarian pauses” will be implemented in densely populated areas.
