Israeli officials announced that on Monday, 180 trucks carrying international humanitarian aid entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing. This aid includes food, water, medical supplies, and other essential items, sent at the request of the U.S. government and coordinated with Egypt. The volume of this aid is similar to that sent during temporary ceasefires. Additionally, two diesel fuel tankers have also been sent from Egypt for humanitarian agencies operating in Gaza, intended for use in the critical infrastructure of the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also announced that the humanitarian aid trucks have entered Gaza and are distributing the aid. The U.S. had previously announced that it sent over 25 tons of humanitarian aid by air for the residents of Gaza. President Joe Biden stated on November 10 that the U.S. government would do 'everything in its power to increase logistics and humanitarian assistance to Gaza.' The U.S. noted that Israel's operations in southern Gaza are more targeted, but it is too early for a final judgment. The continuation of ground operations and intensified airstrikes by Israel in southern Gaza is ongoing. Israel has warned residents of Khan Younis to leave the area immediately. The White House stated that Israel is working to protect civilians in Gaza. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights described the resumption of war in Gaza as a 'disaster.'
