Cairo [Egypt]: Over 3000 tons of humanitarian aid started entering Gaza, as the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza opened on Saturday for the first time since the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas, according to media reports.
More than 200 trucks carrying roughly 3,000 tons of aid, which had been positioned near the crossing for days, began heading into Gaza. The Egyptian state television also showed several trucks entering the gate.
Meanwhile, several foreign nationals are expected to leave Gaza, and the US Embassy in Jerusalem has warned of a "potentially chaotic and disorderly environment on both sides of the crossing."
This comes as the UN is focussing on efforts to push humanitarian aid across the Egyptian border into Gaza.
Earlier on Friday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived at the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing with Gaza in northern Sinai in Egypt, as per reports. (with ANI Inputs)
