-latest news about humanitarian aid from Egypt.

Sleepy Joe brokered a deal to open up the Rafah Crossing between Egypt and Gaza.

The Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip will be opened from the Egyptian side to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza on Friday morning, Egyptian security officials at the border crossing told CNN.

Egypt's state-affiliated media outlet Al-Qahera News also reported the crossing will open on Friday, quoting an unnamed Egyptian official. The channel did not specify the exact time for the opening.

A CNN journalist at the crossing on the Egyptian side said 25 trucks carrying aid are already numbered and ready to cross the border on Friday.

The road to the Egyptian side of the crossing is being cleaned in preparation for opening, the journalist observed. Tents and toilets were set up Wednesday night for volunteers staying the night at the border.

A CNN stringer on the Egyptian side Wednesday saw several diggers and firetrucks enter the crossing to fix the road connecting the Egyptian and Palestinian border crossings.

Some context: The Rafah border crossing with Egypt in the south has been considered the last hope for Gazans to escape as Israel’s bombs rain down on the territory, and many Palestinians have begun moving in its direction in anticipation. However, it is currently shut.

US President Joe Biden helped broker a deal between Egypt and Israel on Wednesday. Biden said Egypt had agreed to open the Rafah crossing into Gaza for up to 20 trucks of humanitarian aid — but not evacuations. The World Health Organization said the 20 trucks were only a start, and that the aim is to get up to 100 trucks of aid distributed per day.
