Heads up! Aid trucks are piling up at the Rafah crossing as Israel delays its reopening. On October 19, long lines of trucks loaded with relief supplies—think food, medicine and clean water—were seen backed up on the Egyptian side. 😔
The Rafah crossing is located at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip and is basically the only road for international humanitarian aid into Gaza. When it's closed, everything stalls—imagine ordering essentials online and getting the 'delivery delayed' email… over and over again. 🚚💨
Several truck drivers told local media they'd been turned back by Israeli authorities more than once. For residents of Gaza, that means hunger, health risks and more uncertainty. It's a tense reminder of how fragile aid routes can become in conflict zones.
For young pros in Dhaka, Jakarta and Manila, it's like watching your GoJek delivery vanish. But here, the stakes are life and death. Let's hope diplomatic talks can get those trucks moving soon—for every missed delivery can cost lives. ❤️✊
