Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Cairo reported that approximately 100 trucks carrying 1,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid are waiting to enter from Egypt into the Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent explained that the Rafah crossing is no longer suitable for delivering aid to the Strip, and there is talk of using the Karm Abu Salem crossing as an alternative.

The Washington Post reported that the Israeli occupation requested to inspect every aid truck before entering Gaza from El Arish Airport, noting that "Israel" would allow the entry of each truck after its approval.

The occupation threatened to strike any truck entering without its approval.

This comes after Israeli media reported that a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip would come into effect, starting at 9:00 a.m., and would last for five hours.

According to Israeli media, the ceasefire stipulates the exit of foreigners from the Strip and the entry of humanitarian aid through the Rafah crossing.

Israeli media mentioned that "Israel" has issued a warning to Egypt, stating that it will strike any trucks carrying supplies to the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli occupation army shelled the crossing three times on the 10th of this month within 24 hours, resulting in the injury of two Egyptians in the Egyptian hall and five Palestinians on the other side of the border.

A halt of aid trucks from the Egyptian side was announced due to repeated airstrikes on the Palestinian side of the crossing, as stated by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At the same time, Egypt denied the closure of the land crossing between Egypt and Gaza at any point during the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip. However, it experienced irregularities in its operation due to the repeated Israeli airstrikes that damaged its essential facilities on the Palestinian side.

Egypt called on the Israeli occupation to avoid targeting the Palestinian side of the crossing to enable its rehabilitation for future operations.

It is noteworthy that Israeli occupation Security Minister Yoav Gallant ordered last week to cut off electricity, water, and food from Gaza, leaving 2 million Palestinians in the already-besieged Strip without basic human needs amid the ongoing aggression that has claimed the lives of more than 2,600 Gazans till now.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) affirmed on Sunday that Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have revealed an "unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe."

The agency's Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, revealed that "there is not one drop of water, not one grain of wheat, not a litre of fuel that has been allowed into the Gaza Strip for the last eight days."
