- Humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza via Egypt’s Rafah crossing on Monday, carrying essential food and medical supplies for 2.4 million residents amid a widening hunger crisis.
- Following the breakdown of ceasefire negotiations, Israel implemented a complete blockade starting March 2, which was partially eased in late May with limited aid deliveries and daily military pauses established to support humanitarian efforts.
- Despite these efforts, most aid trucks arriving via Egypt were looted before reaching storerooms, with Hamas officials blaming criminal gangs allegedly under Israeli protection for the thefts.
- The World Health Organization dispatched 10 trucks loaded with vital medications, equipment for laboratory work, and supplies for testing water from Egypt to Gaza, with more trucks and shipments of blood products anticipated, highlighting the importance of maintaining a steady delivery of medical materials.
