Israel announced on Wednesday that it was authorizing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip from Egypt, while it imposed a strict siege on the Palestinian territory, which has been relentlessly shelled since the bloody Hamas attack on October 7.
“Israel will not prevent humanitarian aid from Egypt as long as it involves food, water and medicine for the civilian population in the southern Gaza Strip,” according to a statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who specifies that Israel “will not authorize any humanitarian aid from its territory to the Gaza Strip” as long as the hostages taken by Hamas “are not returned”.
Further details will follow.
