Video show Gaza aid trucks pile up at Egypt’s Rafah border point

Aid trucks bound for Gaza line up at Egypt's Rafah crossing
  • Humanitarian aid trucks are currently lined up at Egypt’s Rafah crossing, awaiting entry into Gaza.
  • Israel has declared that it will not allow aid to pass through the border until Hamas releases all 28 deceased hostages.
  • Despite earlier reports suggesting the crossing would open, Israel had previously indicated it would permit only 300 lorries, which is half the minimum number agreed upon in a previous peace plan and required by the UN.
  • An Israeli security official has denied any agreement for aid to pass, stating that the date for opening the crossing for the movement of people will be announced later.
