A plane carrying 200 tonnes of Gaza-bound aid arrived from the US to Egypt’s Al Arish, the US embassy in Egypt said in a statement. The shipment is the first to be sent to Gaza from the US since the start of an Israeli siege on the coastal enclave. “The United States is working closely with the Egyptian Red Crescent, the United Nations, and international partner organisations to accelerate and expand aid efforts, reinforcing protection for Palestinian civilians,” said Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Uzra Zeya.
