A Jordanian diplomat said 21 Jordanian army doctors and four field hospitals would be allowed to enter on Wednesday. A generator donated to the Palestinian people from Libya was allowed through the Rafah crossing on Tuesday and trucks carrying food and medical supplies passed through the Kerem Shalom crossing.

Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross says it's preparing to fly eleven tons of medical supplies to Israel to help Gaza's over-stretched hospitals.
