Rafah border crossing carried much-needed food, water and medicine for the besieged Palestinian enclave, but it was unclear when more aid would be allowed to enter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">As living conditions deteriorate in Gaza, the first trucks were dispatched using an expedited process that did not require physical inspections, according to officials with knowledge of the negotiations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive talks. Future shipments will need to be checked, the officials said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Verification of the cargo is a key demand from the Israelis, who want to ensure items of use to Palestinian fighters do not flow into Gaza and into the hands of Hamas, the militant group that controls the coastal strip, diplomats say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">For the first convoy, however, the trucks\u2019 inventories were instead submitted to the Egyptians, the United Nations and Israel before they were allowed to depart, the officials said. The aid was then given to the Palestinian Red Crescent for distribution, That expedited process used for the first 20 trucks would not be replicated, the officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The living conditions in Gaza have grown ever more dire since Israel tightened its 16-year blockade of the enclave after the brutal assault by Hamas terrorists that left roughly 1,400 dead in Israel. Israel cut off food, water and fuel, and supplies are running short, adding to the difficulties of hundreds of thousands of Gazans who have been forced to leave their homes during the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">After a visit to Israel on Wednesday, President Biden <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/18\/world\/middleeast\/biden-israel-visit-gaza-hospital-strike.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">announced<\/a> that he had brokered an agreement between Egyptian and Israeli authorities to allow 20 trucks of aid into Gaza, but days of contentious negotiations kept the aid sitting at the Rafah border crossing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A verification process for cargo in future shipments is still being negotiated, officials from the European Union and the U.N. said, speaking anonymously to offer insights into the fragile talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Under one proposal, the U.N. would verify the cargo without the involvement of any other authorities, officials say, to ensure aid is handled with neutrality in line with standard humanitarian aid principles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Another important question that remained unresolved on Saturday was whether fuel would be permitted into Gaza, the officials added. The U.N. and aid donors such as the European Union insist that fuel is vital to operate generators that power hospitals and water desalination plants in Gaza. But Israel is concerned that Hamas could use the fuel for military operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Health Ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, warned on Saturday that continuing to leave fuel out of the aid convoys could have \u201cdangerous repercussions\u201d for the enclave\u2019s health care system. Seven hospitals and 25 health care clinics are out of service because they ran out of fuel, and bed occupancy in Gaza\u2019s remaining hospitals reached more than 150 percent, the ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Monika Pronczuk<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"css-1655kpx\" data-testid=\"Show-More\" type=\"button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Show more<\/button><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2023\/10\/22\/world\/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oct. 21, 2023, 2:00 p.m. ET Oct. 21, 2023, 2:00 p.m. ET Volunteers helping to pack aid for the Gaza Strip at<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/israel-prepares-for-gaza-invasion-against-hamas-live-news-updates\/22\/10\/2023\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3121"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
