Ahaber television channel reported that planes carrying humanitarian aid are already on their way.

The source notes that the assistance will be delivered through the Rafah checkpoint, which is located on Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip.

Earlier in the day, the head of the Palestinian Health Ministry described what is happening in Gaza as a humanitarian disaster.

May Kaile called for immediate assistance to medical facilities in Gaza. In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Tel Aviv forces have launched a sustained military campaign against Gaza Strip in response to a military offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas in Israeli territories.
