In a significant development, Egypt has agreed to allow United Nations humanitarian aid trucks to pass through Israel's Kerem Shalom crossing into the conflict-stricken Gaza Strip.
This decision came after a conversation between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US President Joe Biden, highlighting international efforts to provide relief to the besieged territory. Despite the agreement, it remains uncertain when or if the aid will successfully reach Gaza, as the area continues to grapple with the repercussions of ongoing hostilities.
The move is seen as a critical step towards alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with potential shipments of food and fuel expected to resume as early as Friday evening, according to Egyptian security sources.
