▲ A line of relief goods trucks passing through the Rafah border heading towards the Gaza Strip (AFP = Yonhap News) 17 trucks are to deliver additional humanitarian relief goods to the residents of the Gaza Strip in Palestine.
We passed the Rafah border crossing in Egypt, the only point not controlled by Israel. The second round of relief supplies was brought into the Gaza Strip, which has been completely blocked by Israel since the outbreak of the 7-day war.
However, this is not enough to meet the needs of more than 2 million Gaza residents.
The United Nations is urging that the volume of relief goods brought in through this ‘Road of Life’ should be approximately 100 trucks per day.
Some point out that the lack of fuel supply in the Gaza Strip makes it difficult not only to operate various facilities but also to distribute relief goods.
Even U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken said, “We call on all parties to keep the Rafah border open to allow for the continued movement of aid.”
Meanwhile, although Israel is reaffirming its policy to launch ground operations in the Gaza Strip every day, it is still difficult to open an evacuation route through the Rafah checkpoint.
Even Egypt is extremely wary of the possibility of an influx of Palestinian refugees, making it virtually impossible for Gaza residents to go outside through here.
