34 trucks: Over the weekend, 34 trucks from an aid convoy entered Gaza via the Rafah border crossing, which had been the subject of negotiations for the last week between Egypt, Israel, and the U.S.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza remains dire, with little electricity, food, and water available. Doctors are using "clothes for bandages, vinegar for antiseptic, sewing needles for surgical ones," reports the Associated Press. Al Shifa Hospital, which generally has the capacity to care for about 700 patients, is treating more than 5,000. Patients are crammed into hospital corridors, with so few beds available. Aid workers say hundreds of trucks carrying supplies are needed, not dozens.
