The Rafah border, which serves as the sole gateway out of Gaza, has been closed due to the Israeli bombardment.


Cairo: Egypt has refused to allow the safe passage of Gaza refugees through the Rafah border, the sole exit from the war-torn Gaza Strip.
This decision comes as the border region experiences intense Israeli bombardment.
Egyptian security officials have confirmed ongoing negotiations with various parties, including the United States, regarding plans to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza through the Rafah border.
However, as of now, individuals seeking refuge are not permitted to enter Egypt from Gaza.
The closure of the Rafah border represents a critical challenge for the people of Gaza, who are trapped in a dire humanitarian crisis.
Israeli airstrikes have intensified after attacks by Hamas, with thousands of tons of explosives raining down on the besieged territory.
Moreover, Israel has severed vital utilities such as electricity, water, and fuel supplies to Gaza.
The consequences of these actions have been devastating, with over a thousand people losing their lives and hundreds sustaining injuries.
Tragically, a significant number of the casualties include children, underscoring the extent of the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza.
Furthermore, Israel's military campaign has extended its reach to target not only military installations but also residential buildings, mosques, shops, factories, and even ambulances, leaving residents in a state of unrelenting fear and uncertainty.
The use of phosphorus bombs in Gaza by the Israeli military has raised international concern, with the Palestinian government presenting evidence to support these claims.
