As long as we are alive on this earth...we will never leave this land," says Mahmoud al-Areer, who lost his children during an Israeli strike in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

A 20-truck convoy of the Egyptian Red Crescent carrying humanitarian aid, including food, medicine and water, began entering the besieged Gaza Strip on Saturday through the Egypt-controlled Rafah Crossing.

“Those trucks need to move as quickly as possible in a massive, sustained and safe way from Egypt into Gaza,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a peace summit in Cairo Saturday.

He thanked Egypt for its role in facilitating the convoy.

“But the people of Gaza need a commitment for much, much more — a continuous delivery of aid to Gaza at the scale that is needed,” he said. “We are working nonstop with all parties that are relevant to make it happen.”
