Gaza Citizens Caught In The Crossfire To Receive Aid

Egypt said it will allow the aid trucks to travel to Gaza through its territory though it is unclear when that will happen.

President Biden has pledged $100 million in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and the West Bank.

The president says Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people, and the on-going fight has only brought them suffering. Nearly 2,800 Palestinians have been reportedly killed in Gaza and another 1,200 people are believed to be buried under the rubble, after a blast struck a hospital.

President Biden reassured that the U.S. still firmly stands with Israel, but he said officials must find ways to help the Palestinians who are innocent and caught between the crossfire. He spoke with the Israeli cabinet to agree to the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance to the citizens of Gaza.

Israel confirmed food, water and medicine will begin to flow. However, it said the aid cannot be brought through its territory. Egypt said it will allow the aid trucks to travel to Gaza through its territory though it is unclear when that will happen.
