New York, USA: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) warned Tuesday that the continued interruption of entry of aid and fuel supplies at the Rafah crossing will halt the critical humanitarian response across the Gaza Strip.
"The catastrophic hunger faced by people especially in northern Gaza will get much worse if these supply routes are interrupted," UNRWA said on X.

On Tuesday morning, the Israeli forces occupied and took control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing in Gazas border with Egypt, preventing the movement of passengers, including the sick and wounded, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.
