UN again calls on Israel to open Gaza’s Rafah crossing, stop blocking aid

Israeli authorities are refusing to let in 600 aid trucks per day as specified in ceasefire deal, UN official says.

UN urges Israel to open Rafah crossing for urgent Gaza aid

• The United Nations wants Israel to allow in “more [aid] trucks at more crossing points” to Gaza, an official says, as aid levels remain far lower than specified by the ceasefire agreement.
• Palestinians in Gaza continue to struggle to find food and clean water despite the ceasefire, and many remain unable to return to their homes due to the presence of Israeli troops.
