The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened to allow humanitarian aid through on Saturday
New town promises keep being broken – here’s why Starmer’s are likely to go just the same wayEgyptian aid workers celebrate as a truck crosses back into Egypt through the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip , but only 20 trucks from the Egyptian Red Crescent to the Palestinian Red Crescent organisation were allowed through on the first day.
“We’re coordinating closely with those partners and have been arguing, at the highest level, for further humanitarian assistance.” Asked about future plans that could see Gaza have its facilities – like water and electricity – cut off long-term and stop Palestinians crossing the border for work, Mr Jenrick says that is “a decision for Israel”.
“It’s quite a long way ahead before we could reach the point where we might be able to see more people leaving Gaza. At the moment Egypt, for example, is not willing to admit refugees, and we understand the reasons behind that.” Despite the “bleak outlook and high emotion”, the Prime Minister writes that he came away from the trip “more convinced than ever” of the need to support a two-state solution to end the decades-long conflict.
