More now on Egypt agreeing to open up the Rafah crossing to allow in up to 20 trucks of aid into Gaza, APA reports.
US President Joe Biden made the announcement earlier, and now Egypt confirms that the "sustainable" passage of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip will pass through the crossing.
"Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and American President Joe Biden have agreed on the sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip via the Rafah terminal," said presidential spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy in a statement, without specifying a date.
A readout of the conversation between the two leaders said the aid would be coordinated by relevant authorities in the two countries with international humanitarian groups, under the supervision of the United Nations.
