JERUSALEM — Twenty trucks carrying medicine, medical supplies and food crossed into Gaza on Saturday morning from Egypt, marking the first humanitarian aid to arrive in the territory since an Israeli bombardment campaign began two weeks ago.
As the trucks made their way through the Rafah border, 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.
…
Well, yeah, the line to get in was, what? 200 trucks? They’re probably limiting access to make sure neither side does anything stupid.
Mad props to the truck drivers willing to bring aid into a war zone! They are not paid enough for that!
