Israel allows aid into Gaza via Egypt

JERUSALEM: Israel said on Wednesday it would allow humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip from neighboring Egypt while maintaining its siege on the Palestinian territory since Hamas launched bloody attacks on the Jewish state earlier this month.

The devastating impact of Israel's restrictions and constant bombardment of Gaza, home to 2.4 million people, has been a major concern among the country's allies and became a key talking point during United States President Joe Biden's hours-long visit to Israel on Wednesday.
