A key border crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened Saturday to allow the first humanitarian aid to reach the besieged territory since the war between Israel and Hamas began.

Two weeks after the militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack in southern Israel and the country responded by sealing off and shelling the Gaza Strip where Hamas rules, a 20-truck convoy entered Gaza carrying desperately needed supplies.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, international groups have warned, as Palestinians are rationing food, drinking dirty water and hospitals are overwhelmed with injured and running low on supplies.

Two trucks that entered Gaza from Egypt are carrying more than 44,000 bottles of drinking water from the U.N. children’s agency – a day’s supply for 22,000 people, according to UNICEF.

  6. Hopefully, there were no guns nor ammunitions nor heaven forbid, soldiers hidden in those containers. Remember the Trojan Horse.

  7. Will the innocent people get this or will Hamas take it from them?

  8. The Arab Egypt, closed the border to Gaza for a reason

  9. Only 20 trucks were allowed to enter

  10. Israel said no aid unless and until all prisoners were released. Well, International law outweighed that.
