Aid shipments destined for Gaza are facing significant delays and rejections at the border, leaving trucks loaded with food and medical supplies stranded in warehouses near Egypt's Rafah crossing. Aid officials and truck drivers cite bureaucratic hurdles, strict inspections, and limited operating hours at the Israeli border as key obstacles, with some shipments turned back for minor paperwork or packing issues. Despite Israeli assurances that there are no quantitative limits on aid entering Gaza and claims that hundreds of trucks cross daily, humanitarian agencies report that only a fraction of the needed supplies are reaching the enclave. The situation has sparked frustration among aid workers and drivers, as well as criticism from international observers, while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen.
