⚡️🇪🇬🇵🇸 The Head of RT Arabic has visited the Rafah border, here is his testimony.

"I was with a media delegation from several international news agencies that accompanied the visit of His Excellency the General Supervisor of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center and His Excellency the Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Cairo to the Al-Arish area and the Egyptian Rafah port, which had two main goals:"

"The first goal is to ensure the progress and flow of Saudi aid through the port of Port Said and Al-Arish Airport, passing through the warehouses, and distributing it in rations according to the types of food, medicine, medical supplies, and shelter supplies, with them being well packaged and providing the necessary support with generosity and generosity."

"The second goal is His Excellency’s visit with the ambassador to the crossing to convey a message to the party obstructing its entry and to the world that the leadership, the Saudi government, and the King Salman Relief Center insist on bringing in aid immediately and unconditionally in quantities that meet the need."

"During this trip I saw the following:
Firstly, the large volume and quantity of Saudi aid and the support provided by the Kingdom in this direction in terms of the quantity and quality of aid on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Kingdom’s support for the logistical and relief work carried out by the Egyptian side in transporting this aid and providing relief."

"I also attended the visit of the Saudi delegation to the Ministry of Social Development in Cairo, during which packages of support were signed for the Egyptian side in the amount of $15 million provided to the Egyptian Red Crescent, in addition to support with the knowledge and experience available at the King Salman Center, in order to provide Egyptian relief work with money and experience."

"During that trip, I saw hundreds of trucks piled up on both sides of the road from the Al-Arish area to the Rafah crossing, loaded with various types of aid from Saudi Arabia and from many countries such as Egypt, Qatar, and others, and many charitable organizations from all over the world waiting for permission to move."

"Several kilometers before the crossing, the trucks are subjected to examination and inspection from the Egyptian side to ensure their cargo. This is important to ensure that there is nothing that could prevent their entry, and this refutes any claim of crossing any materials that the occupying entity claims to be smuggled. They are then exited to form convoys of “inspected” aid ready to enter. For Gaza."

"The convoys remain waiting for permission from the port officials for days, sometimes up to six days, to move on the road leading to the port and then enter. This delay is due to the intransigence of the other side regarding the daily number they allow to cross from the other side of the port."

"Thus, it is safer for the drivers of these trucks to remain inside Egyptian territory, and they will also be able to provide food, drink, communication services, and other humanitarian needs for every truck driver, so that they do not remain in the unknown between the two crossing gates from the Egyptian Rafah side and the Palestinian Rafah side."

"I asked some truck drivers returning from inside the country about what happens during the trip from passing the Egyptian crossing gate until their return. It turned out that there is a lot of obstruction on the part of the occupation forces with several measures that delay the flow of aid into Gaza."

"Among them is that the driver is directed to an area called Al-Auja inside Rafah, the truck is handed over, he is removed from it and kept away from his truck, with a thorough self-search and kept away from his truck. This stage sometimes takes more than eight hours for each driver." .... (1/2)

⚡️🇪🇬🇵🇸 Testimony of the Head of RT Arabic at Rafah (cont.)

"The Israeli soldiers take the truck to the inspection area and it is first searched with police dogs, then it is subjected to an x-ray examination, and then it is searched manually by opening a group of packages at random, which takes a long time, taking into account the number of trucks. It is a process that reduces the flow of the number of trucks that need to be brought in daily."

"After that, they move the truck to another area to unload its cargo and deliver it to Palestinian organizations, including the Palestinian Red Crescent, which in turn is responsible for transporting it inside and thus distributing it to hospitals and affected residents."

"The truck is then delivered to the driver again to return it to Rafah, Egypt. This process takes from three to five days, and sometimes more, for each truck, without a clear disruption to the flow of trucks."

"Thus, all the claims of the other side of the Egyptian side that it is the reason for obstructing or delaying the entry of aid is pure slander, a lie, and a falsification of the truth represented by the Israeli side deliberately making it difficult and obstructing the entry of aid.

I finish"

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️Putin: Ukrainian intelligence knew that there were Ukrainian prisoners of war on board the Il-76

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️Putin: it is obvious that the missiles at the Il-76 were launched from territories controlled by Kiev

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️Putin on the question of recognizing the GUR and SBU as terrorist organizations: only a court can recognize them as such

🇷🇺🇺🇦 In the evening, the enemy confirms the further advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the east of Avdeevka. Fierce fighting continues there, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to counterattack in order to stabilize the situation and prevent ours from gaining a foothold.

🇪🇺🇭🇺 The EU has threatened to leave Hungary without a say in decisions if it blocks aid to Ukraine.

Politico writes about this.

According to the publication, if Hungary again blocks the allocation of 50 billion euros to Ukraine at the summit on February 1, members of the bloc are ready to apply Article 7 of the EU Agreement for the first time in history and deprive Budapest of the right to participate in joint decision-making.

Politico writes that this tightening of the EU’s position towards Hungary was influenced by problems in the United States, where Congress cannot agree on the allocation of $61.4 billion to Kyiv, which makes it critical for Ukraine to receive assistance from the EU.

Earlier , Reuters reported that negotiations in the EU on the allocation of aid to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros “have become more complicated” due to the position of Hungary, which still wants to block this aid.

At the same time, earlier Slovak Prime Minister Fico said that he would not allow Hungary to be deprived of its voting rights in the EU.
