"Israel-Hamas War: Day 15 - Gaza Braces for Invasion as Aid Trucks Enter, but Rafah Border Remains Closed"

As the Israel-Hamas conflict enters its 15th day, the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza has opened, allowing 20 aid trucks to enter the besieged enclave. However, humanitarian groups say this aid is still insufficient. Israel continues heavy bombardment in Gaza, vowing to fight until victory after the release of two American captives by Hamas. The death toll in Gaza has risen to over 4,200, with 70% being women and children, while 1,400 people were killed in Israel during Hamas attacks. An international conference, the Cairo Peace Summit, is underway to discuss de-escalation, but a joint statement is unlikely due to sensitivities around a ceasefire and Israel's right to defend itself. Protests against Israel's actions are taking place across the Middle East.
