After facing international pressure and warnings of famine in Gaza, Israel initially increased humanitarian aid, but the flow of aid has since been severely restricted. Israel closed the Kerem Shalom crossing and seized the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing, while Egypt has resisted sending aid trucks to Kerem Shalom. Egypt's concerns about Israel's military operation and fears of Palestinian refugees entering its territory have complicated aid delivery. Additionally, Israeli military activity and fighting near Kerem Shalom have damaged roads and made the area unsafe for aid workers. The situation has led to growing danger of fuel shortages in Gaza, threatening essential facilities and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
