According to Channel 12 reporter Nir Dvori, the IDF has made contact with international and humanitarian organizations, instructing them to prepare to evacuate the population from the Rafah area.

The response notes the report is too reliant on problematic sources such as the Hamas-run government and ignores steps the IDF has already taken to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The convoy contains hundreds of tons of ready to eat meals, destined for the north of the Gaza Strip.

In a tweet posted on X/Twitter, Foreign Minister Katz said that Israel provides extensive humanitarian aid, Minister Fontelles should stop attacking Israel and recognize its right to self-defense against Hamas.

The Prime Minister made it clear that Israel cannot exist alongside Hamas; the German Chancellor said Israel has the right to defend itself but that the civilian casualties are too high.

The IDF reported that during the arrival of a convoy of 31 trucks containing aid into northern Gaza, Hamas terrorists started firing on the civilians. The IDF said an examination showed it did not fire at the convoy or civilians.

One ship has already offloaded hundreds of tons of food to the Gaza Strip on Friday, and another ship is en route today, with Cyprus serving as the main aid terminal.

The drop included "16 375-pound bundles of rice, flour, milk, pasta, and canned food" meant for civilians in northern Gaza.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that the German Army would airdrop aid to help Gazan civilians caught in the crossfire.

The project will be funded by US allies and private parties and involve tugboats and cranes.

This airdrop includes "approximately 5,280 pounds of food, including rice, flour, pasta, and canned food" for Gazan civilians in the northern Strip.

Kann 11 news reporter Roi Kais reports that European diplomats are skeptical of Biden's plan to establish a temporary port near the Gaza coast to directly aid Gazan civilians. The UAE, on the other hand, is enthusiastic.

MEMRI President Yigal Carmon argues that President Biden's port initiative will help cut off Hamas' allies, reduce civilian casualties, and allow for a quicker end to the war.

The Defense Minister argued that the port, meant to send aid, especially food, directly to the residents, will help cut the terrorist organization off from support.

With meals provided from Jordan, the US Army airdropped some 11,500 meal equivalents over northern Gaza.

Maritime history professor and observer Sal Mercogliano posted a thread on X/Twitter explaining why President Biden's idea of a temporary port off the Gaza Strip is unnecessary and too risky.

According to Reuters, the port will be able to supply up to 2 million meals a day to Gazan civilians escaping the war, and will not be secured ashore by US troops at any stage.

According to the inquiry, most of those who died were killed from crowd crush and from trucks running people over.

Iranian soup kitchens and thousands of tons of aid and medicine raise the fear that this humanitarian mission may be cover for infiltrating Iranian officers and intelligence near Israel.
