Aid Trucks Start Moving Towards Gaza From Egypt, State-Affiliated TV Says
- On July 27, 2025, the Israel Defense Forces began daily tactical pauses from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in parts of Gaza to allow humanitarian aid deliveries.
- The pauses follow nearly 22 months of conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack, which killed over 1,200 Israelis and caused Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza.
- Aid efforts include resumed IDF aerial drops and the entry of additional aid trucks from Egypt, alongside Jordan and the UAE parachuting 25 tons of supplies, though delays in approvals hinder convoy movements.
- Ross Smith of the World Food Programme warned that convoys face waits up to 20 hours, limiting the benefit of pauses, while Israeli sources stress no famine exists and blame Hamas for obstructing relief.
- These measures aim to ease suffering among Gaza's 2.1 million residents but face challenges from ongoing hostilities, political controversy, and concerns over aid reaching civilians rather than Hamas.

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.
