Trucks of humanitarian aid meant for Gaza are stuck at the Egypt border due to Israeli airstrikes, multiple international news outlets are reporting. 

Multiple trucks containing food and medical supplies have arrived in Egypt but are stuck at Rafah Crossing since it cannot be used due to Israeli air strikes. 

Egypt and other countries have urged Israel to call a ceasefire so that the aid can reach Gaza. It will also allow foreign nationals stuck in the Gaza Strip to cross into Egypt safely. 

Rafah crossing is the only border point in and out of Gaza that is not controlled by Israel.
