60 trucks of humanitarian aid crossed the Egyptian Rafah crossing into the Palestinian Gaza Strip, Egyptian sources reported today (Monday).

The sources told Xinhua News Agency that the Egyptian authorities sent the eighth batch of Palestinian aid this morning to the Al-Auja commercial crossing in central Sinai, in the amount of 60 trucks.

She explained that this quantity of trucks, which is the largest to cross into the Gaza Strip, comes as compensation for the delayed entry of two previous batches.

The sources indicated that the trucks were sent from in front of the Rafah crossing to the Al-Auja crossing in central Sinai to be examined and inspected from the Israeli side, and then sent again to the Gaza Strip through the Palestinian Rafah crossing.

Yesterday (Sunday), 48 trucks of humanitarian aid crossed into the Gaza Strip, including food, water, medicines and medical supplies.

Egypt is making intense efforts to accelerate the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip to alleviate the suffering of citizens trapped there since October 7.

Israel still refuses to allow the entry of petroleum derivatives with aid shipments, under the pretext that Hamas may seize them.
Today, the International Committee of the Red Cross delivered a shipment of medical supplies and emergency medicines to the administration of Nasser Governmental Hospital in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
