[Regnum] The second convoy of 17 trucks with humanitarian aid for civilians in the Gaza Strip affected by rocket attacks arrived in the region through the Rafah checkpoint. Al-Qahera Al-Ihbarya TV channel reported this on October 22

The checkpoint is located on the border between the enclave and Egypt. According to the TV channel, three trucks from the Egyptian Red Crescent Society were also among those who arrived.

As Regnum reported, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on October 22 that the country's authorities will send humanitarian aid and doctors to the Gaza Strip. According to him, the plane is scheduled to fly to Egypt in the morning of the same day, and it will transport 20 doctors to the site, who will determine the list of necessary drugs and medical equipment.

Before this, the presidents of Russia and Syria , Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad, also spoke about the need to urgently send humanitarian aid . The heads of state spoke out against the forced displacement of the population of the enclave. After that, on October 19, an Il-76 plane of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations with humanitarian cargo landed at the Egyptian El-Arish airport. The special flight delivered 27 tons of food, including sugar and flour.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict escalated on October 7 when Hamas militants fired rockets at Israel. In response, the Israeli side did the same. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the start of Operation Iron Swords; it later became known that the ground part of the operation was planned. Israel has admitted that there is no plan for the post-war future of the Gaza Strip. Putin said that a ground operation using heavy equipment threatens to have dire consequences. He later noted that Moscow favors the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state . The position was supported by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov , who recalled the decisions of the UN Security Council on the need to create the state of Palestine within the 1967 borders.
