Israel has announced it will keep the Rafah border crossing closed indefinitely, citing security concerns and the ongoing dispute with Hamas over ceasefire violations. As both sides trade accusations, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with calls from the UN and various aid organizations for increased access to aid. While some aid has begun to trickle into the region, the flow is far below what is needed. Humanitarian efforts face significant challenges, and the UN warns that the Gaza famine crisis is worsening. Amid fears that hostilities could flare up again, the humanitarian community continues to advocate for an urgent lift of restrictions on aid deliveries, with hopes that the situation will improve soon.
