The Rafah crossing — the only passage in and out of the Palestinian enclave not controlled by Israel — has been closed since Tuesday, after three Israeli air strikes on the Palestinian border post within 24 hours. "The Egyptian stance is clear, which requires the aid to arrive in Gaza," the report added, as alarm grows over shortages of essential supplies in the blockaded territory.
Already, shipments of aid from Jordan, Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates had arrived at El Arish airport — 50 kilometres west of Rafah — alongside enough medical supplies supplied by the World Health Organization to meet the needs of 300,000 people.
