Egypt announced Thursday the "sustainable" passage of humanitarian aid to the blocked Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing, as hundreds of aid trucks wait at the gates of the enclave being bombarded by Israel.
"Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and American President Joe Biden have agreed on the sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip via the Rafah terminal," said Egyptian presidential spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy in a statement, without specifying a date.
It said relevant departments of the two countries will coordinate with international humanitarian organizations under the supervision of the United Nations to ensure the arrival of aid supplies.
The announcement also came after Israel's wartime cabinet decided on Wednesday to allow basic humanitarian aid from Egypt into the Gaza Strip as Biden visited Israel in an effort of mediation.
The U.S. president also announced $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank on Wednesday.
The ongoing conflict, which broke out on October 7, has killed more than 4,900 people on both sides.
