Egypt Announces Truce Starts at Noon; First Aid Trucks Enter Gaza
A long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza will take effect Thursday at 12 p.m. local time, Egypt’s Al-Qahera News TV confirmed, as a massive humanitarian aid convoy crossed into the war-torn enclave. The deal—brokered after three days of indirect talks in Sharm el-Sheikh—aims to end hostilities, free hostages and prisoners, and ramp up critical aid deliveries. 🌍
Food, Medicine, and Hope
An Egyptian Red Crescent convoy carrying thousands of tonnes of rice, pasta, baby formula, and medical supplies entered Gaza via the Rafah crossing Thursday. It’s the first aid shipment since the ceasefire agreement and the fourth since late July. The supplies will undergo inspection at Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing before distribution. 🚚💨
Deal Finalized After Marathon Talks
Mediators confirmed the ceasefire’s first phase includes 'all provisions and mechanisms' to halt fighting, though final details remain under wraps. The agreement follows U.S.-backed negotiations and marks a potential turning point in the conflict. More updates are expected soon. ✨
