00:00 And we go now to our correspondent Noor Hazen, who's at the Rafah border, with the latest

00:05 updates from the region.

00:06 Let's listen.

00:14 And even though Egypt said that they will reopen the Rafah border today, Friday, to

00:19 allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, however, the border is closed until now.

00:29 This has happened before.

00:30 During the week, Egypt repeatedly said that they will be opening the Rafah border to allow

00:36 medical supplies and food supplies to enter the Gaza Strip.

00:41 However, until this moment, the border is closed.

00:45 We're talking about around 20 to 30 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid for the people

00:51 of Gaza, especially that the Gaza Strip is suffering a dire need of especially water,

00:59 canned food, milk, flour, bread.

01:01 And also the hospitals are actually suffering the lack of medicine and medical supplies

01:07 that they started to treat people on the floors of the hospital.

01:15 They started also the doctors to just treat people with only moderate to serious injuries.

01:22 Those with minor injuries, they just do some stitches and some bandages, and that's it.

01:35 There's no people, there's no workers.

01:39 It's totally quiet here.
