00:00 The government of Egypt reiterated all week that it was going to open the Rafah border
00:04 to allow the arrival of humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza who are suffering from
00:08 the Canzad attacks from Israel.
00:11 However, so far the Rafah crossing point is still closed.
00:14 So from Gaza, our correspondent Nora Harrison has the details.
00:18 We are actually at the front gate of the Rafah border between Egypt and Gaza.
00:24 And even though Egypt said that they will reopen the Rafah border today, Friday, to
00:30 allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, however, the border is closed until now.
00:39 This has happened before.
00:40 During the week, Egypt repeatedly said that they will be opening the Rafah border to allow
00:46 medical supplies and food supplies to enter the Gaza Strip.
00:51 However, until this moment, the border is closed.
00:55 We're talking about around 20 to 30 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid for the people
01:01 of Gaza, especially that the Gaza Strip is suffering a dire need of especially water,
01:09 canned food, milk, flour, bread.
01:12 And also the hospitals are actually suffering the lack of medicine and medical supplies
01:17 that they started to treat people on the floors of the hospital.
01:23 They started also the doctors to just treat people with only moderate to serious injuries.
01:30 Those with minor injuries, they just do some stitches and some bandages and that's it.
