A lifeline to gazans. It is not known whether foreign Passport Holders and dual nationals will be allowed to leave. The Palestinian Health ministry now says 4385 gardens have been killed in the last two weeks, including 1756 children. These latest pictures show the first trucks entering, loaded with food, water and medicine, which are desperately needed by civilians inside gaza. Its not clear how long it will remain open. Israel has agreed to let just 20 trucks through. The un says at least 100 aid trucks are needed a day. Israel sealed its borders with gaza imposing a total siege on the strip 12 days ago. The Rafah Crossing between egypt and gaza is now the only way to allow vital supplies in. 0ur reporter Rushdi Abualouf has the latest from the Rafah Crossing. 20 trucks are carrying food, medicine, and we understand Operation Room for the Nasser Hospital in khan yunis. This convoy is the first 20 trucks that crossed from a coming from the egyptian side to the palestinian side today. This is a window of hope for 2. 3 Million People who are stuck without food, medicine or essential water. All of the essential needs, stuck in gaza. Today, there is a little bit of hope that this corridor is open and functioning. Once the mechanism of distributing this food is in place, more trucks will come from this direction. From the egyptian side, we understand that 4,000 trucks full of food, medicine and some say a field hospital, are on the other side of the border. Israel wants to make sure that hamas is not involved in this. The bbc was told by a Senior Hamas Official today that hamas is aware of those trucks and they are happy with the mechanism that egypt is putting in place. And they will not involve in distributing or deciding who will get this aid, as long as they are going to the people who need. The palestinians side of the crossing is open and hamas is welcoming any aid in. So today is significant. Since two weeks, gaza was without food and medicine. Today is significant, we have seen a window of hope, a window of food and medicine for gaza. This is a drop in the ocean, but more to come if the mechanism in place, everybody is happy with. Gaza has been under extensive israeli bombardment after hamas which is listed as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk government and others carried out its attack inside israel two weeks ago. 1,400 israelis were killed.

Live now tojerusalem to speak to our middle east correspondent tom bateman. The news of the Rafah Crossing opening does give people in gaza a glimmer of hope but aid agencies say it simply wont be enough in the longer term. It simply wont be enough in the longerterm. Is it simply wont be enough in the longer term. Is there any indication that there could be more trucks allowed through . That there could be more trucks allowed through . What this does mean, as allowed through . What this does mean. As you allowed through . What this does mean, as you suggest, allowed through . What this does mean, as you suggest, is allowed through . What this does mean, as you suggest, is a mean, as you suggest, is a breakthrough, however small because those trucks have been waiting for ten days. There are thousands of them backed up on the egyptian side of the crossing so the fact that this has opened its very significant and the bbc this morning counted at least 20 trucks going through, carrying food, water and medical supplies. That includes, for example, trauma kits, bandages with people with blast and shrapnel injuries. Also medicines for people with chronic diseases because hospitals are at an absolute point of collapse in gaza. They havent had powerfor many of collapse in gaza. They havent had power for many days now so that stuff is desperately needed. But its not going to go very far, as you are suggesting. But then takes onto The Big Question about, is the crossing going to stay after this . Well more of those trucks be allowed in . My sense is that this is very much about testing well this works. The critical demands from the israelis saying they dont want any of the supplies exploited or stolen by hamas. Youve got a deep crisis of governance inside gaza already. Hamas was the governing authority in the strip. That was effectively tolerated by the israelis before these hostilities broke out but now, israel are saying that its over. Hamas will have to be crushed. That vacuum of power that may well emerge over the coming weeks and months is now being tested in a sort of concentrated form. Can they get is applies to people uninterrupted . Well enough trust be built for more to go in . I think we will have to wait and see what happens with this, how it is distributed and remember, people are desperate, so after the supplies go to a Distribution Point and then spread out across neighbourhoods, potentially to the Un Shelter Facilities where people are, what kind of scenes is that going to bring . We have ready heard the un talk about tensions and frustration among those people crammed into those facilities at the moment so it is extremely challenging circumstances. I think this is a test and we will see in the coming hours and days, whether or not they can get together, the un, the egyptians and the israelis, tear get more aid in. Tear get more aid in. More things continue to tear get more aid in. More things continue to happen, tear get more aid in. More things continue to happen, including continue to happen, including exchange of fire. We are hearing from their policy and Health Authorities in gaza that more than 3000 4300 authorities in gaza that more than 3000 4300 people have been killed. We now know that more than 200 hostages are still being held by hamas. What more are we hearing about the mass of israeli troops at the border and a possible incursion . We know that a very large number of troops and Military Hardware is there. They were saying as long ago as five to six days that they were effectively ready, the israeli military. I think what we then saw this week was a kind of step back from that posture because we had vip visits to jerusalem from that posture because we had vip visits tojerusalem including the us president joe biden, the tale of eve tel aviv. 0ther president joe biden, the tale of eve tel aviv. Other leaders coming here as well. The focus became around the International Diplomacy and what was significant there was that anthony blink in, the us secretary of state had visited around eight arab capitals in three days. We then saw this very tense focus about trying to get relief into gaza. The americans with a pretty blunt message to the israelis that although, 100 backing from washington to israel, they still expected a Military Campaign to be conducted injoe bidens words, within the laws of war. He said, dont be consumed by rage, dont make the mistakes we made after 9 11, referring to the american response to 9 11. That was a very significant message, to stand next to Benjamin Netanyahu and say that. We know the troops are poised and ready to go in but we also have the factor of the hostages as you have referred to. More than 200, including elderly and children being held by hamas. The pressure within israel is immense. Many have been extremely angry about the way that the Israeli Cabinet has handled this. Notjust The Original Security Failure but also about the lack of information they felt. There is a lot in the mix and wants a Military Campaign starts, you cant pull it back so i think a lot of this diplomacy, a lot of internal politics in israel play into this at the same time, people are trying to stop the crisis engulfing the rest of the region. That is why we are seeing this Summit Of European and arab leaders today in cairo and the moment the troops going, we will see the entire situation reached a new level potentially of crisis point. Thank you very much for the moment. Lets take your life to Central London. Thousands of processes have been gathering. They have been gathering in the centre of the city as part of a pro palestinian march. You can see flags being waved. We are hearing that the platform at Marble Arch Tube Station in Central London was briefly closed due to the crowd who has been gathering there. As you can see, its a peaceful protest and there are thousands of people who had gathered in Central London for that march and protest in solidarity with the palestinian cause. We will bring you more on that as and when we get it. The leaders of egypt, jordan and the Palestinian Authority have condemned israel for what they called the collective punishment of civilians in gaza. Theyve been speaking at a peace summit in cairo. In the last hour the uks Foreign SecretaryJames Cleverly condemed the actions of hamas, but said hes spoken to the Israeli Government about its duty to act in accordance with International Law. Iam sure i am sure we all shared the revulsion that hamas murderous acts of terrorism, the targeting of the civilians, the merging of children, the desecration of dead bodies. I am sure we are all distressed by the plight of Palestinian Civilians in gaza. Whose lives have been made harder, more painfuland more dangerous because of the brutal attacks by hamas on the 7th of october. We all mourn the dead, both 0ctober. We all mourn the dead, both israeli and palestinian. Weve also heard from Palestinian PresidentMahmoud Abbas hes head of the Palestinian Authority, which has control over areas of the occupied west bank, but not the hamas run gaza strip. He used his opening remarks to say that palestinians will not be forced off their land. Translation we warn against any i attempts to displace our people i in gaza beyond its borders. We also warn against any evictions of palestinians from their homes, or displacement from jerusalem or the west bank. We will not accept displacement. We will remain steadfast on our land, no matter the challenges. The un secretary general Antonio Guterres described the scene at Rafah Crossing as a Human Catastrophie after his visit on friday. A 20 truck convoy of the egyptian red crescent is moving today. And i want to express my deep gratitude to egypt for the essential role egypt is playing in this regard. But the people of gaza need the commitment for much, much more. A Continuous Delivery of aid to gaza at the scale that is needed. And we are working non stop with all parties that are relevant to make it happen. Excellencies, let us be clear. The grievances of the Palestinian People are legitimate and long. We cannot and must not ignore the wider context for these tragic events. The long standing conflict and 56 years of occupation with no end in sight. But nothing can justify the reprehensible assault by hamas that authorised the terrorised israeli civilians. And those abhorrent attacks can neverjustify the collective punishment of the Palestinian People. Institutional humanitarian law, including the geneva conventions, must be upheld. That includes protecting civilians and not attacking hospitals, schools and un premises that are currently sheltering half a Million People. Excellencies, our near term goals must be clear. Immediate, unrestricted and sustained humanitarian aid for besieged civilians in gaza. Immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and the immediate and dedicated efforts to prevent the spread of violence, which is increasing the risk of spillover. To advance all these efforts, i appealfor a humanitarian ceasefire now. Excellencies, our sustained collective efforts and resources have never been needed more. As we focus on ending the bloodshed, we cannot lose sight of the only realistic foundation for a true peace and stability. A two state solution. Israelis must see their legitimate needs for security materialised, and palestinians must see their legitimate aspirations for an independent state realized in line with United Nations resolutions, International Law and previous agreements. The time has come for action. Action to end this god awful nightmare and action to build a future worthy of the dreams of the children of palestine, israel, the region, and our world. Shukran.
