Aid is piling up in Egypt's Sinai region at El Arish airport, with food, medicine, water purifiers, hygiene products, and blankets waiting to be transported to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing. UN Chief Antonio Guterres emphasized the need for rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access, calling the crossing and the airport the "lifelines" for the people of Gaza. The Egyptian Red Crescent receives two to three planes of aid daily, and the UN World Food Programme has 951 tonnes of food ready to be delivered. The situation in Gaza is described as "beyond catastrophic" with dwindling supplies and rising casualties among children.
