After a grueling five-month delay, trucks carrying life-saving medical supplies and food rolled into Gaza this week, sparking tearful relief among residents who’d endured months of scarcity. The delivery came just hours before Israel closed northern border crossings again, citing security concerns over masked individuals seen guarding aid trucks. Local clan leaders clarified these were volunteers protecting supplies—not militants—with some carrying sticks as makeshift security tools.
CGTN footage captured raw emotions at a Gaza City warehouse, where widow Ghalia Nuwaij broke down while receiving her first aid package since losing her husband and sons in the conflict. “I’m raising orphans alone,” she shared, her voice trembling. Nearby, Ahmed Al-Aklouk praised the aid escorts, pushing back against claims that Hamas controlled the distribution: “This help is for all of us.”
As tensions persist, the brief window of relief highlights both Gaza’s resilience and the fragile hope hanging on every aid convoy. With crossings closed again, many wonder: When will the next lifeline arrive? 🚚⚡
