CLOSE SHOT OF HUMANITARIAN AID PARCELEGYPT-GAZA BORDER, RAFAH, EGYPT - AUG. 3, 2025: A limited number of trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt on Sunday, August 3, according to local sources. Alongside food supplies, two fuel tankers were also reported to have been allowed through the crossing. The aid convoys, departing from Egypt, are first permitted to pass through the Rafah crossing from the Egyptian side. However, they are then held at the Kerem Shalom crossing on the Israeli side for security inspections before entry into Gaza. The Palestinian government in the Gaza Strip said Saturday that most of the 36 aid trucks Israel allowed to enter the enclave Friday were looted amid a security chaos deliberately started by Israel. The Gaza Government Media Office accused Israel of pursuing a “policy of chaos and starvation” in Gaza, saying the trucks were subjected to looting and theft as part of a “systematic destruction plan” to condemn the territory’s residents to hunger. Last week, the UN World Food Program (WFP) warned that one-third of Gaza’s population had gone without food for several consecutive days due to the Israeli siege. WFP estimates that one in four Palestinians in Gaza faces famine-like conditions, and 100,000 women and children are suffering from acute malnutrition. Israel has maintained a blockade on Gaza for 18 years, and since March 2, has sealed all border crossings, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and worsening already dire conditions in the enclave. Palestinian officials have said a minimum of 600 aid trucks are needed per day to meet the needs of the territory’s 2.4 million people. The Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 60,400 Palestinians. The relentless bombardment has devastated the enclave and led to food shortages. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
