Humanitarian Trucks Roll Into Gaza After Two-Week Blockade 🌍🚚
For the first time since the latest escalation began, 20 trucks carrying tents, medicines, and other critical supplies entered Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing on Saturday. The aid—coordinated by Egypt and Qatar—offers a glimmer of hope for families trapped in makeshift shelters as Israeli airstrikes and Hamas rocket fire continued for a 15th straight day.
Relief workers described scenes of exhausted parents lining up for water bottles and children peering from under tarp-covered tents. 'Imagine living in a parking lot-sized space with 50 strangers,' one volunteer shared anonymously. 'That’s the reality for thousands here.'
A Tentative Lifeline 🩺
While the supplies mark a crucial step, locals say it’s just a 'drop in the ocean' compared to Gaza’s needs. Over 1 million residents lack reliable access to food and clean water, according to UN estimates. Meanwhile, cross-border tensions remain high, with no ceasefire in sight.
⚡ Why it matters: This small aid convoy could set the stage for broader international negotiations. But with winter approaching and infrastructure crumbling, the clock is ticking for vulnerable families.
