Israel i forces seized the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt on Tuesday, and closed the flow of humanitarian aid through the checkpoint.It is unclear when, or if, they will be reopened and aid agencies are warning that stopping the flow of aid will have a catastrophic impact on an already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza .
"That is catastrophic for people who are in there and for the humanitarian operation going forward," he said. The Israeli military, and the Israeli government department tasked with coordinating aid deliveries into Palestinian territories, COGAT, did not respond to ABC questions about what future plans were to get aid into Gaza.
"We are afraid, our life is dangerous, we fear bombardment, they target tents that are so vulnerable.""What has he done wrong? What has he got to do with October 7?" " is a very important step, an important step on the way to destroying Hamas's remaining military capabilities, including the elimination of the four terrorist battalions in Rafah, and an important step to damaging Hamas's governing capabilities, because … we have denied Hamas the crossing that was vital to establishing its terrorist regime in the strip."
