Turns out that the people that turned off food water and power in order to collectively punishing an ethnic population is not very interested in helping the people that they are punishing.

Pretty sure Israel's plan is not to allow aid to be brought to the people, but to export the remaining people to the aid.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Cairo says the Rafah crossing, a potentially vital opening for desperately-needed supplies into the Israeli-besieged Palestinian enclave, is not officially closed but is inoperable due to Israeli air strikes on the Gaza side.

As Israel's bombardment and siege of Gaza has intensified, the territory's 2.3 million residents have been left without power, pushing health and water services to the brink of collapse, with fuel for hospital generators running low.

"There is an urgent need to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza," Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told reporters, adding that talks with Israel had not been fruitful.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced within Gaza, with some taking cars and suitcases south towards the Rafah crossing but others heading back north after failing to find refuge.

Like others, Egypt has spoken out against any mass exodus of Gaza residents, reflecting deep Arab fears that the latest war could spark a new wave of permanent displacement for Palestinians from lands where they have sought to build a state.

Early on Monday, two Egyptian security sources had told Reuters a temporary ceasefire in southern Gaza to last several hours had been agreed to facilitate aid and evacuations at Rafah.


The original article contains 548 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Man if only there was some way to protect the corridor by air.

You know like engaging in high stakes geopolitics and military showdowns.

Because Egypt definitely cares about the Palestinians and Gaza.
