Al Qahera News reported on Sunday that a convoy comprising 70 aid trucks and 20 ambulances is poised to enter the Gaza Strip. Simultaneously, 400 dual nationals have gathered at the Rafah Border Crossing, hoping to cross into Egypt.

On Tuesday, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) disclosed the reception of 81 humanitarian aid trucks from the Egyptian Red Crescent. This brings the total number of trucks entering Gaza since October 21 to 650, averaging about 36 trucks per day, according to a statement by the PRCS.

The delivered aid includes essential supplies such as food, water, relief aid, medical equipment, and medications. Notably, Israel has yet to permit the entry of fuel into the Strip, as stated by the PRCS.

In a parallel development, a group of Palestinians holding dual nationalities, totaling 400, arrived at Egypt's Rafah Border Crossing on November 2, following the entry of 335 the previous day, as reported by Extra News.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declared Egypt's readiness to facilitate the departure of 7,000 dual nationals, representing 60 different nationalities, from the Gaza Strip. This assistance involves allowing them entry through the Rafah Crossing and subsequently flying out from Egyptian airports.
