Diaa Rashwan, the head of the State Information Service, revealed that over the recent days of Ramadan, a total of 322 aid trucks crossed from Egypt into northern Gaza. He added that since the onset of the Israeli offensive, 19,354 trucks loaded with aid have passed through the Rafah crossing into the sector.

Moreover, the country has facilitated the entry of 66,759 foreign nationals and dual citizens, alongside 6,330 Egyptians, through the Rafah border.
