Egypt to send aid to war torn Gaza from tomorrow says US President Biden but rejects proposal to relocate Gazans
Reuters. Claims of responsibility for the hospital blast varied, with many Arab leaders alleging Israeli involvement, while Hamas officials in Gaza attributed it to an Israeli airstrike. Israel denied any involvement and presented evidence suggesting the blast resulted from a rocket misfire by Islamic Jihad, another militant group operating in Gaza.
However, Islamic Jihad dismissed that allegations. Israel had cut off all supplies to Gaza following a rampage by Hamas militants in southern Israel. As a result, many families in Gaza were left with just one meal a day and had to resort to drinking contaminated water.
Video from al-Ahli Hospital showed the hospital premises covered in debris, with many of the victims being young children. Gaza City's main hospital received hundreds of wounded patients amid medical supply shortages. Doctors performed surgeries on floors, often without anesthesia.
Biden said Sisi agreed to open the crossing and is planning to send around 20 truckloads of aid into the Gaza Strip said US President Joe Biden.
