Egyptian officials and sources said on Friday that humanitarian operations are at risk from military activity and that Israel needs to hand the crossing back to Palestinians before it starts operating again.

Aid deliveries for Gaza through Rafah began in late October, two weeks after the start of the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave. The amount of aid waiting in Egypt's northern Sinai was now very large, and some had been stuck for more than two months, said Khaled Zayed, head of the Egyptian Red Crescent in the area.
