Gaza Aid at Risk Amid Rafah Assault

The United Nations has raised concerns that humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip may come to a halt within days due to the escalating ground conflict in Rafah. Israeli forces have intensified their operations, capturing key areas and disrupting vital aid corridors.

  • UN Warns of Aid Cessation: The UN cautions that the Gaza Strip’s aid could stop soon as Israeli troops advance into Rafah, a critical aid passage.
