Israel on Wednesday said it reopened a key border crossing into Gaza after it was closed off last weekend following a Hamas rocket attack that killed four Israeli soldiers, but the United Nations says crucial humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people is not yet getting through.

Israel’s Coordinator of the Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which handles civilian and humanitarian affairs, said trucks from Egypt have already arrived at the Kerem Shalom crossing.

But the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said later Wednesday that aid is not getting through the crossing.

Scott Anderson, director of UNRWA affairs in Gaza, said there is no aid entering across the entire territory on Wednesday.

“No fuel or aid has entered into [Gaza] and this is disastrous for the humanitarian response,” Anderson wrote on X.

I saw a video on Telegram of Hamas shooting at civilians to keep them away from the aid trucks.

The Rafah invasion is already in progress. This series of bullcrap exchanges about “aid” is diversionary. IDF is there , and in force, 5-10000 foot/spec ops. The tunnels being cleared Sinwar a walking dead man. Oops stray bomb takes out the floating dock— and it will be Hamas that does that in its desperation. This “hill” doc is way out of date on current actions. Since al gorezeera is taken down they have no writers of their “sources” material. Stupid a@@ Burns of seeing eye dogs went there to “rescue” and agreement from Hamas that NEVER was in the discussion between Israel and Hamas. Total utter bullcrap inserted by joey bags et cie. Israel rejected it out of hand not buying their made up shite in desperation, and also already in operation in Gaza,.

Typical Hamas crap— when they figure out their a@@ is grass they THEN try to worm their way out with a ceasefire on THEIR terms. Couldn’t guarantee the hostages left are even alive— how about that? What debris of human waste they are. There will be no embed journos for this op- have to get it all from IDF. And boy is joey bags pissed— good- he’ll really go around the bend, trying to keep his Squad support happy.

Antisemitism rots the brain and soul. No one with an IQ above room temperature on the right should fall for a spliced video, when they have the capability of watching the full speech and engaging the prefrontal cortex rather than falling propaganda.
It's time to become a man and virtuous citizen, EEE. If you won't learn this time, I will teach you over and over for the your benefit and the other man-children. The future of the FR and the Republic depend on it
