Following the October 2025 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, humanitarian aid has begun flowing into Gaza at an unprecedented scale. The United Nations, along with several international NGOs, launched a coordinated 60-day relief operation aimed at addressing the severe famine and infrastructure collapse that has plagued the region. Daily convoys of trucks carrying food, medical supplies, and shelter materials are entering through border crossings in Egypt and Jordan, with logistical support from countries including Qatar, Turkey, and the UAE.
The Rafah crossing, a critical gateway between Gaza and Egypt, is scheduled to reopen on October 14 under the supervision of the EU Border Assistance Mission. This reopening is expected to facilitate not only the delivery of aid but also the movement of civilians and medical evacuations. U.S. troops, along with regional partners, are helping monitor the ceasefire and ensure that aid reaches its intended destinations without obstruction.
Despite the influx of supplies, distributing aid within Gaza remains a challenge. Many roads and hospitals have been destroyed, and some areas are still under military restrictions. Nonetheless, the ceasefire has brought a glimmer of hope to families returning to their homes, many of which lie in ruins. The international community is cautiously optimistic that this window of peace will allow for sustained relief and the beginning of long-term recovery efforts.
