Aid trucks start entering Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe border crossing between Egypt and Gaza opens to let aid into the territory for the first time since the deadly Hamas onslaught on October 7.
More than 200 trucks carrying roughly 3,000 tons of aid, which had been positioned near the crossing for days, began heading into Gaza. Egyptian state television shows several trucks entering the gate.
At the same time, foreign nationals are expected to leave Gaza, and the US Embassy in Jerusalem has warned of a “potentially chaotic and disorderly environment on both sides of the crossing.”
