Kirby says humanitarian aid will be going back into Gaza
Following the end of the temporary cease-fire, humanitarian aid stopped flowing into Gaza through the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed Friday.
But Kirby added, "I just saw some reporting that looks like a spokesman for the Israelis have now said that the trucks were going to be allowed into Gaza at our [U.S.] request, and certainly with the approval of their government."

"They [Israel] stressed that all the trucks going in, of course, had to be done with this inspection regime in Israel before entering Gaza," he said. "That looks like a good sign going forward."
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said earlier Friday that Israel was not letting aid pass through Rafah to Gaza.
"Israeli occupation forces informed all organizations and entities operating at the Rafah border crossing that the entry of aid trucks from the Egyptian side to the Gaza Strip is prohibited, starting from today until further notice," the Palestine Red Crescent Society said.
