Humanitarian Crisis🚨in Gaza:
The Israeli occupation's takeover of the #Rafah border crossing not only blocked the entry of humanitarian aid but forced the #WorldCentralKitchen TO HALT ITS OPERATIONS, forcing hundreds of Palestinians into even more difficulty in securing food.
In their statement, the WCK said, "Our field kitchens & community kitchens outside evacuation zones provided >168K meals in communities around Rafah & Deir al-Balah."

Rafah invasion forces pause in World Central Kitchen operations
Due to the forced displacement of Palestinians thought to be taking refuge in Rafah, which was formerly called a safe zone for Palestinians by the Israelis, the World Central Kitchen announces a halt in operations.Al Mayadeen English (Rafah invasion forces pause in World Central Kitchen operations)
To no one's surprise:
"Israel strikes targets in eastern Rafah."
"Israeli Prime Minister says deal Hamas accepted is 'far from meeting Israel's demands', and Israel will send a working delegation to negotiate further."
Netanyahu never wanted🕊️peace. An extended #ceasefire would expose him. He hasn't prioritized🚨releasing the hostages or aid.
"Humanitarian officials have long warned of massive disruption to the effort to stave off famine in Gaza in the event of a major Israeli offensive in the south. Any attack on Rafah would lead to “the collapse of the aid response”, the NRC said on Mon. Death toll in Gaza from the Israeli MIL offensive: >34K, mostly women & children."
