Medics Rush to Site of Israeli Strike in Khan Younis | VOA News

Buildings near a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip were hit by Israeli air strikes, prompting rescuers to rush to the scene.

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.”

Dozens of trucks have been lined up near Rafah for several days waiting for the border to open to bring aid to Gaza’s more than 2 million residents.
