A convoy of trucks carrying aid for Palestinians in Gaza was waiting on Tuesday at the Rafah crossing, Gaza’s only connection to Egypt.
More than a week after Israel cut off entry of any supplies, all eyes were on the Rafah crossing.

The war that began on Oct. 7 has become the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides, with more than 4,000 dead.
