Under the scorching sun of Egypt's Sinai, along the road leading to the Rafah border crossing, humanitarian aid truck drivers endure endless hours of waiting—a poignant display of solidarity with Gaza's besieged population.
With other crossings closed to aid, Rafah remains the sole lifeline through which humanitarian supplies flow to the Kerem Shalom crossing, controlled by Israeli occupation forces. Hundreds of "hope trucks" line up, undergoing rigorous inspections before their life-saving cargo can reach the devastated enclave.
Amid strict restrictions and obstacles imposed by Israeli forces, the unwavering determination of these drivers shines through. They press on to deliver food, medicine, and relief supplies to the farthest accessible point at Kerem Shalom, only to return to Rafah—hoping their journey has eased, even slightly, the suffering of their Palestinian brothers and sisters.
