Biden: Gaza to receive aid via Rafah crossing this weekend.
President Biden Secures Humanitarian Aid for Gaza
President Joe Biden announced on Friday that Gaza will finally receive much-needed humanitarian aid through the Rafah crossing this weekend. This breakthrough comes after a successful negotiation with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who agreed to open their side of the border for one-way travel into Gaza.
“I got a commitment from the Israelis and the president of Egypt that the crossing will be open,” Biden revealed during a trilateral meeting at the White House. He further explained that the Rafah crossing required significant repairs before it could be operational again. However, he assured reporters that within the next 24 to 48 hours, the first 20 trucks filled with aid would cross the border.
Delivering Hope to Gaza
Biden had previously announced that the initial shipment would consist of 20 trucks carrying essential humanitarian supplies for the people of Gaza. He also hinted at the possibility of future shipments if this initial effort proves successful. However, the president made it clear that the deal would be nullified if Hamas terrorists attempted to seize any of the aid.
“If Hamas does not divert or steal this shipment, we’re going to provide an opening for sustained delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians,” Biden emphasized during his national address on the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine.
This development brings renewed hope for the people of Gaza, who have been suffering from dire conditions and limited access to essential resources. With the Rafah crossing set to reopen, the region can finally receive the support it desperately needs.
