"Desperately needed aid trickles into besieged Gaza as Egypt's border crossing opens"

The border crossing between Egypt and Gaza has opened to allow a limited amount of aid into the besieged Palestinian territory, which is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Only 20 trucks were allowed in, while over 200 trucks carrying 3,000 tons of aid are still waiting. Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians are rationing food, drinking dirty water, and facing fuel and medical supply shortages. Israel continues to launch airstrikes, and its military plans to intensify attacks as part of its war on Hamas. The opening of the border came after high-level diplomacy, including visits by U.S. President Joe Biden and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
