Egyptian authorities are working to open the Rafah border crossing for urgent humanitarian aid into Gaza, state media reported Wednesday, following a reported ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
The move comes as Egypt prepares to deliver \"the largest possible amount\" of international assistance to Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, according to a security source quoted by local media. Trucks carrying food, medicine, and supplies are reportedly on standby near the crossing.
While details of the ceasefire remain unconfirmed, the potential breakthrough could ease tensions after weeks of conflict. Analysts say opening Rafah—a critical lifeline for Gaza—reflects growing global pressure to address the humanitarian crisis.
\"This is about saving lives first,\" an unnamed Egyptian official stated. Meanwhile, social media buzzes with cautious optimism, with hashtags like #GazaAid trending worldwide.
