The United Nations has expressed concern over Israel's recent military actions in Rafah and the closure of border crossings, which have severely hampered aid operations in the Gaza Strip. This has led to a halt in the entry of aid trucks into Gaza, resulting in dire humanitarian conditions reminiscent of the early stages of the war. The UN Secretary General and other officials have emphasized the critical role of Rafah in humanitarian operations and warned of the looming famine. The situation is further exacerbated by fuel shortages, impacting essential services and prompting displacement of people. The UN and aid groups are facing challenges in accessing and delivering aid, and the potential escalation of conflict in the Rafah area poses significant obstacles to providing assistance to those in need.
