The first trucks carrying critical, but limited, aid supplies to the Gaza Strip moved through Egypt’s only border crossing with the coastal enclave on Saturday during a brief opening.
These were the first deliveries via Rafah, Egypt’s only border crossing with Gaza, since the war erupted two weeks ago between Israel and Hamas. They carried medical and other humanitarian assistance accompanied by Egyptian medical teams, Egyptian and UN officials said.
The border opened on Saturday morning and closed in the afternoon after 20 trucks finished offloading their goods on the Palestinian side and returned, according to an Egyptian security source.
