Aid trucks have begun moving into Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing after a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel came into effect on Sunday. This fragile agreement, crucial for addressing the escalating humanitarian crisis, provides a glimmer of hope amid the devastation caused by months of ongoing conflict.
The first trucks from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, navigating challenges like destroyed roads, looting, and security breakdowns.
The agreement stipulates that 600 truckloads of aid will be allowed into Gaza daily during the initial six-week ceasefire, with 50 of these trucks carrying much-needed fuel. The WFP reported that half of the aid shipments are designated for northern Gaza, where famine risks are critical.
In Deir al-Balah, Palestinians greeted the start of the ceasefire with cheers as long lines of trucks carrying fuel and aid queued at border crossings. This critical step has renewed hope for a resolution to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
