Reports indicate that Israel is blocking the entry and exit of patients and the wounded through the Rafah Border Crossing, which it had previously permitted on a limited basis.

The Rafah Border Crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt has been completely closed to transit by Israel. This decision prevents the exit of patients and the wounded, who are in urgent need of medical treatment.

According to the latest information from Gaza, Israeli authorities are not allowing patients, the wounded, or their companions to pass through the Rafah Border Crossing. Reports in the Palestinian press emphasize that a large number of people in need of urgent medical care due to the crisis in the region are unable to cross the border.

GAZA UNDER BLOCKADE

In a written statement, the Palestine Red Crescent Society indicated that the closure of all border crossings in Gaza is not temporary. The statement expressed that 'Gaza is under blockade; patients are left without treatment, families are deprived of safe shelters, and the futures of children are surrounded by darkness.'

In the face of the worsening humanitarian crisis, health organizations and civil society groups are calling on the international community for urgent intervention. It is reported that the flow of humanitarian aid into the region has come to a near standstill.
