Humanitarian catastrophe threatens Gaza as crossings remain closed

Gaza Strip, Palestine ·

Ismail al-Thawabta, director of Gaza's Government Media Office, said the territory is heading into a worsening humanitarian catastrophe because of winter conditions. He linked it to the continued closure of crossings and the blocking of shelter materials.

Access for aid into Gaza through its crossings, which Israel controls along with Egypt at Rafah, has been a central issue since the war that began in October 2023.
