🚚 Long lines of aid trucks loaded with humanitarian supplies lined up on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing on October 19, only to be halted when Israel delayed its reopening.
Why the Rafah Crossing Is Crucial
At the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, the Rafah crossing is the main gateway for international humanitarian aid into Gaza. Each delay here directly impacts families waiting for basic essentials.
Voices from the Convoy
Several truck drivers said they were turned back by Israel more than once, forced to circle back without delivering their cargo.
For people in Gaza, every extra day of waiting means prolonged shortages of vital supplies. 😢
We’ll keep an eye on when the trucks can finally move forward and get help to those who need it most. ✨
