Aid Trucks Start Moving Towards Gaza From Egypt, State-Affiliated TV Says
- The Israel Defense Forces resumed aerial aid drops and opened humanitarian corridors on July 27, 2025, to facilitate aid deliveries into Gaza.
- This followed nearly two years of conflict that began with Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack killing over 1,200 people in Israel and led to a severe blockade on Gaza.
- Despite over 250 aid trucks entering Gaza from Egypt in the past week and air drops by Jordan and the UAE, humanitarian aid convoys often face delays of up to 20 hours waiting for Israeli clearance.
- Ross Smith, WFP emergency director, warned that such delays hinder aid delivery effectiveness and described air drops as 'purely symbolic at the very best,' amid deepening hunger in Gaza.
- The tactical pauses and aid efforts aim to ease civilian suffering without ceasing military operations, but humanitarian agencies remain concerned the support is insufficient for Gaza's 2.1 million inhabitants.

Israel to decide next steps in Gaza as more Palestinians die seeking aid and from hunger
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing mounting domestic and international pressure to bring the remaining hostages in Gaza home and allow much more aid into the starving territory.
Merz expressed his concern for the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. His government confirmed that Hamas had started the fighting – and it was pushing the brakes on the recognition of a Palestinian state.
Foreign Minister Anita Anand said that Ottawa had aid trucks ready to reach the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and that she was counting on Israel to let them through.
Since 25 July 2025, Israel has authorized the release of foreign humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip. But on the ground, it is a perilous race that is speeding up the daily lives of the inhabitants: to recover, at any cost, what the few trucks deliver; convoys that enter only in dozens, where it would take at least 500 a day, according to the UN, to meet the needs of a hungry population.
