Egypt has announced the creation of a “sustainable” humanitarian aid corridor into Gaza. The announcement comes as hundreds of trucks, carrying essential supplies, are waiting to enter the besieged Palestinian enclave being bombarded by Israel.
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday that he would not allow a large number of refugees from the Gaza Strip to enter Egypt, because it could set a precedent for Palestinians in the West Bank to move to neighbouring Jordan.
The Biden administration has allocated $100 million in humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, in an effort to help the more than 1 million people displaced by the ongoing conflict.
