Biden says he thinks aid trucks will get through to Gaza within 2 days

U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday said he believed that trucks carrying aid will get through to Gaza in the next 24-48 hours, as he met with leaders from the European Union at the White House to discuss the war in the Middle East.
Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,400 people, mainly civilians. Since then Israel has bombed Gaza with air strikes. At least 4,137 Palestinians have been killed, including hundreds of children, in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Asked about aid trucks getting through to Gaza, Biden said he had a commitment from the Israelis and the president of Egypt.
The “highway had to be repaved,” Biden said. He said he believed that over the next 24-48 hours the first 20 trucks with aid would get through.
International attention has focused on getting aid to Gaza through the one access point not controlled by Israel, the Rafah crossing to Egypt. Biden, who visited Israel on Wednesday, emerged with a promise from Israel to allow limited shipments from Egypt, provided the aid is monitored to prevent any from
reaching Hamas.
