A video clip obtained by Al Jazeera shows large numbers of trucks loaded with aid accumulating on the Egyptian side. The Rafah crossing is located on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, but the Egyptian authorities say that Israel is the one preventing the entry of aid into the Strip.

Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent aid into Gaza as long as Israel is unable to achieve anything regarding its prisoners. Since last October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza strip, which has led to the death of more than 29,000 Palestinians.
