The first trucks of humanitarian aid have reached Gaza after pleads from countries all over the world and the UN for Egypt to allow them across the border, and the much-needed aid is now being delivered to Gaza citizens. Over 2.3 million Palestinians have been starving and drinking dirty water to survive after Israel put a complete siege over the strip, halting all electricity, food, water, and medicine. Over 200 trucks carrying aid have piled up on the Egypt-Gaza border, but only 20 were allowed in. Hospitals have been running out of fuel for their generators that are keeping the entire place running, and their medicine is running out. Hopefully, this trickle of aid that has been allowed through will solve some of their problems, but Israel plans to ramp up strikes and attacks in the next week, which could create even more problems. They claim that they are trying to crush Hamas, and are targeting their members, not civilians. However, thousands of innocent lives have been lost in the process on both sides, while Hamas is still holding over 210 people hostage.
