On Saturday morning, twenty trucks of humanitarian aid crossed into Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah border. The trucks were carrying medicine, medical supplies and food.
As the trucks made their way through, hundreds of foreign nationals gathered at the Gaza side, hoping to escape the violence that has beset the Palestinian territory. But by the afternoon, it had become clear that no one would be allowed to leave for now.
We will continue to update this report as the situation evolves.

..."This week, the Biden administration announced it would seek an emergency military assistance package for Israel and Ukraine. “We have the capacity to do this and we have an obligation to,” President Biden asserted. “If we don’t, who does?” With reference to Ukraine — whose counteroffensive has regained more than half of the territory seized by Russia in 2022, but has progressed more slowly than expected, and will likely be suspended with the onset of winter — National Security Council spokesman John Kirby added, “Time is not on our side.”
To secure bipartisan support, the package may also include support for Taiwan and even some funds for a wall on the border. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised a vote in the next few weeks. In the House, no action can be taken until a Speaker is selected. Speculating that GOP dysfunction might produce a Democratic takeover of the House in 2024, Rep. Don Bacon opined that some of his Republican colleagues prefer to be in the minority because they can “vote no and yell and scream all the time.” To govern, Bacon noted, “you have to work together.”
On Ukraine aid, keeping the government open, adhering to the agreement negotiated by McCarthy to avoid a catastrophic debt default and many other issues, a minority of Republicans prefer yelling and screaming to governing. We will soon find out if they are willing — and able — to bring the house down to get their way."
