Rafah crossing

For the second day in a row, an aid convoy crossed the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza on Sunday. Sunday’s convoy was 14 trucks. Gaza has been under Israeli blockade and aerial bombardment since October 7, when the Hamas movement massacred 1400 Israelis and took over 200 hostages. The Rafah crossing with Egypt is the only border crossing with Gaza that Israel does not control. According to the UN, the 14 and 20 trucks carrying aid are far less than civilians in Gaza need. The UN estimates that 100 trucks are needed a day. /ritzau/AFP/
