First aid convoy enters Gaza through Rafah crossing | Israel-Palestine conflict

Aid has entered Gaza for the first time since the war broke out, with 20 trucks reportedly entering through the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian border.

It is believed that the trucks were carrying aid from the Egyptian government. UN aid may take longer to get in.

Little is known about how the aid will be distributed, but aid organisations have warned that 20 trucks is just a drop in the water of the needs in Gaza.

According to Hamas’ media office, the aid convoys are expected to be carrying medicine, medical equipment and a limited amount of food.

Hundreds of foreign passport holders are queuing at the Gaza side of the crossing trying to get out. It was not immediately clear if they were able to do so.
