Humanitarian Aid Begins to Flow into Gaza Following Ceasefire Agreement

A recent photograph captured on January 19, 2025, depicts an aid truck operating on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, highlighting the movement of humanitarian assistance. Another image from the same day provides a glimpse of the Gaza Strip.

Delegates from Qatar and the United States, along with representatives from both Palestine and Israel, arrived in Cairo on a Sunday to oversee the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between the two factions. Reports indicate that, according to the agreement, around 600 trucks, including 50 loaded with fuel, are expected to deliver essential supplies to Gaza each day to alleviate the significant humanitarian challenges faced by its residents.

The ceasefire deal, which spans an initial 42 days, was brokered through the efforts of Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, and officially commenced on the same day after Hamas submitted a list of three Israeli women captives to be released. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has also confirmed the initiation of the ceasefire arrangement.
