As the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas enters its second week, humanitarian organizations report that aid supplies in Gaza remain critically low. The Rafah crossing, a vital entry point for aid from Egypt, remains closed, hindering efforts to deliver essential supplies to the besieged population.
The United Nations and various aid agencies have expressed concern over the ongoing delays in aid delivery. According to reports, only a limited number of trucks have been allowed to enter Gaza, and those that do face extensive delays due to stringent Israeli inspections. This has resulted in severe shortages of food, medical supplies, and other necessities for the people of Gaza.
Local residents and aid workers have reported dire conditions, with many families struggling to access clean water and adequate nutrition. Hospitals are operating with minimal resources, and the risk of disease outbreaks is increasing due to unsanitary conditions.
International calls for Israel to open the Rafah crossing and allow the free flow of humanitarian aid have intensified. However, as of now, there has been no official announcement from Israel regarding the reopening of the crossing.
