The media official at the Rafah land crossing, Wael Abu Mohsen, confirmed in a statement to Al Mayadeen Net that Palestinian buses carrying passengers holding foreign and Egyptian passports, as well as Qatari residency permits, in addition to several wounded, began crossing the Rafah border crossing this Saturday morning.

Abu Mohsen explained in a statement to Al Mayadeen Net that no aid truck has entered the Gaza Strip since yesterday.

The government media office in Gaza previously denied the news being circulated regarding the closure of the Rafah border crossing, and confirmed that it was operating normally on Saturday.

This follows the circulation of news regarding "the complete closure of the Rafah crossing, its evacuation from both sides and the withdrawal of trucks that were present on the Egyptian side."

Occupation preventing entry of aid

Reuters had previously reported that "security sources and relief organizations" stated that the entry of aid and fuel trucks into Gaza through the Rafah crossing was suspended after the resumption of Israeli bombing.
 
The Palestinian Red Crescent also reported that, after the end of the truce, the occupation prevented the entry of aid through the Rafah border crossing.

The head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Agency stated, "Egypt deeply regrets the breach of the temporary humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip and is currently making utmost efforts with its partners to return to the ceasefire as soon as possible."

This comes in conjunction with a violent bombardment that targeted the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of martyrs and wounded.

Since the morning of December 1, the occupation forces have resumed their aggression against Gaza, following a ceasefire that lasted about a week, during which a prisoner exchange occurred between the forces and the Palestinian Resistance.

Aid also entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing during the days of the truce, but it is worth noting that the government media office in Gaza confirmed that “the aid that entered does not exceed 1% of the Strip’s need".
