The Palestinian Media Office at the Rafah crossing announced that Israel’s resumption of attacks on the Gaza Strip has halted the entry of humanitarian supplies from Egypt. “Gaza did not receive any aid trucks today after the temporary humanitarian ceasefire, which lasted for a week, ended,” the media office said in a press statement late Friday.
Meanwhile, Lynn Hastings, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, called on all parties to protect civilians and ensure aid workers’ access to provide assistance throughout Gaza, according to news agencies. She said on her X platform that “aid and the release of hostages must continue unconditionally, and the UN will remain present, continuing to provide food, water, medical assistance, and other vital supplies to save lives.”
