On the third day of the ceasefire, and after the release of 26 Israeli hostages and 15 Thai hostages from the captivity of the terrorist organization, as agreed in the deal Israel is bringing 200 humanitarian aid trucks into the Gaza Strip today through the Rafah crossing after an Israeli inspection at the Nitzana Border Crossing.
Dozens of the trucks go up to the north of the Gaza Strip alongside six ambulances, the introduction of the aid was done with the approval of the political echelon, as part of the truce and the outline for the release of the abductees with the terrorist organization Hamas that was agreed with the US through the mediation of Qatar and Egypt. Led by the United Nations, dozens of humanitarian aid trucks, along with six ambulances, are being transported to the northern Gaza Strip in general and to shelters that have not yet been vacated. Their transfer is carried out with Israel's approval through the humanitarian crossing. The humanitarian aid trucks contain food, water, equipment for shelters, and medical supplies only.
At the same time, a senior member of the Red Cross organization said today during an interview with the British news network Sky News that it is not certain that a third round of the release of hostages from Hamas captivity will take place today.
According to the report on the network, there was a significant delay yesterday when Hamas accused Israel of not fulfilling its obligations under the ceasefire agreement. According to her, fewer aid trucks arrived in Gaza than what was agreed upon. Israel said it abides by the agreement. And after a delay of several hours, the Palestinian hostages and prisoners were released.
Speaking from Gaza, senior official Pascal Hundt told Sky News that while he was unsure about further releases, the Red Cross had staff on standby. He added that it is important for both Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be reunited with their families. The situation in Gaza is so desperate that the ceasefire should stay in place, he said.
