Humanitarian aid still hasn't arrived: Yesterday on the Reason Livestream, I cast doubt on the assumption that the humanitarian aid from the deal that President Joe Biden brokered between Egypt and Israel would actually reach Gazans quickly. The two countries had been at loggerheads earlier this week over the question of how the aid ought to be screened for weapons, and it wasn't clear whether that disagreement had actually been resolved.
Indeed. Trucks full of water purifiers, food, fuel, and medicine are waiting in Egypt near the Rafah border crossing. But authorities there are not allowing them in, despite Biden's assurances.
