An aid convoy has been allowed to enter the Gaza-Egypt border crossing at Rafah, providing desperately needed aid to the besieged Palestinian territory for the first time since Israel sealed it off two weeks ago. The situation in Gaza is dire, with UNRWA reporting that the region is running out of water and life, and the attack having a devastating impact on the health of the population. The UNRWA is calling for an immediate ceasefire and for the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to the region.
