Trucks with humanitarian aid for the ‘Gaza Strip enter from Egypt in Rafah on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023. The first wave of aid trucks carrying food, water and medicine entered the Gaza Strip on Saturday, international officials said, while key Arab world leaders blasted the perceived “injustice” of Israel’s growing war against the Gaza-based militant group Hamas.
The U.N. has publicly pleaded with Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, most of which is without electricity and basic goods amid an Israeli blockade. U.N. officials said more aid must be allowed into Gaza immediately. Israel reportedly did not attend the summit, nor did Iran, which is the primary backer of both Hamas and the Lebanon-based militant outfit Hezbollah. The U.S. has repeatedly warned Iran and Hezbollah not to inject themselves into the Israel-Hamas war, and the Pentagon has dispatched warships to the region as a deterrent.
Amid the displacement of more than 1 million Gaza residents, other Arab leaders flatly rejected the notion of accepting large numbers of Palestinians as refugees into their countries.
