Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie visited the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing into Gaza, meeting with Red Crescent volunteers and truck drivers delivering humanitarian aid. Jolie arrived with an American delegation and expressed her honor at meeting those assisting at the crossing, where thousands of aid trucks are reportedly waiting to enter Gaza. Her visit aimed to assess the condition of injured Gazans transferred to Egypt and to observe the flow of humanitarian aid into the region, though no official statements were released by Jolie or Egyptian authorities.

The Rafah crossing remains closed despite expectations it would reopen under the current ceasefire, due to ongoing disputes and delays. Jolie, known for her humanitarian work, has previously criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, which led to a public disagreement with her father, actor Jon Voight, who defended Israel's military response. The situation at the crossing highlights ongoing challenges in delivering aid to Gaza amid the conflict.
