A trilateral committee of Israel, the United States and Egypt has been formed to facilitate and monitor the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza through Cairo’s Rafah crossing, a UN official tells The Times of Israel.

Up to 20 trucks of aid are slated to enter Gaza tomorrow for the first time since the start of the war, US President Joe Biden said yesterday, adding that the number would hopefully increase in the future.
