Israel has approved the delivery of some humanitarian aid from Egypt to Gaza.

This decision has been taken by Israel at the request of US President Joe Biden.

According to the statement issued by the PM of Israel, food, water and medicines can be sent but oil will not be sent.

Along with this, all the goods will be sent only until these supplies reach Hamas.

Notably, Biden has given full support to Israel, stressing the need to end a massive humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, after which Israel also started retaliatory bombing.

Yesterday, Israel attacked a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

The Health Department of Gaza claims that about 500 people have been killed.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday called the bombing of a hospital in Gaza an unacceptable and heartbreaking incident.
