Rafah is the only route into Gaza that is not controlled by Israel, which agreed to allow aid in from Egypt following a request from its top ally the United States.
Twenty trucks from the Egyptian Red Crescent, which is responsible for delivering aid from various UN agencies, entered the Egyptian terminal, an AFP correspondent said.
An AFP journalist on the Palestinian side of the crossing saw 36 empty trailers entering the terminal and heading towards the Egyptian side, where they were to be loaded with the incoming aid.
Four ambulances, two UN vehicles and two Red Cross vehicles were also seen heading into the terminal.
Cargo planes and trucks have been bringing humanitarian aid to the Egyptian side of Rafah for days, but so far none has been delivered to Gaza.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday visited the Egyptian side of the crossing to oversee preparations for the aid delivery.
"These trucks are not just trucks, they are a lifeline," he said. "They are the difference between life and death for so many people in Gaza."
