Israel’s recent actions at the Rafah crossing in the Gaza Strip have raised concerns among humanitarian organizations. According to Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Israel has prevented the United Nations from accessing the vital crossing point.
During a press conference in Geneva, Laerke stated that access to the Rafah crossing has been denied by the COGAT office, affecting the flow of humanitarian aid. This restriction has led to a significant impact on the available inventory for essential supplies.
With the closure of the Rafah crossing with Egypt, the United Nations is facing challenges in maintaining its operations in Gaza. The limited stock of fuel for humanitarian activities is now under strain, as it is the sole entry point for such supplies into the region.
Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, has warned against any potential Israeli invasion of Rafah, emphasizing the dire consequences it could have on the local population.
It is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize humanitarian needs and ensure unfettered access to essential resources for the well-being of the people in Gaza.
