Egypt is redirecting international aid flights for Gaza to El Arish airport in North Sinai governorate, which is approximately 45km (28 miles) from the Gaza border.
The delivery of relief into Gaza has been hindered due to Israeli bombings near the border. As a result, the aid flights from Qatar and Jordan have been delayed until humanitarian corridors can be established.
Egypt and Jordan have received assurances from the United States regarding the delivery of aid to Gaza, although specific details about these assurances have not been provided.
