Egypt says the Rafah crossing was made inoperable due to Israeli air strikes on the Gaza side.
CAIRO: Trucks carrying aid for the Gaza Strip arrived on Tuesday at the only border crossing into the territory not controlled by Israel, a witness and Egyptian security sources said, after the US said it was developing with Israel a plan for aid delivery.
On Monday, local media and Egyptian security sources said that Israel had struck the vicinity of the crossing in Gaza. Two of the sources said the aid deliveries were now waiting for the Gaza side of the border to open and for assurances of safe passage before entering the crossing. Israel began intense bombardment and siege of Gaza following a devastating assault by Islamist Hamas militants on Oct 7.
After nine hours of negotiations, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he had agreed with Israel “to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in Gaza”.
