The Rafah crossing from Egypt into Gaza has been closed since Israel began stepping up its military operation in the area, creating a backlog of aid in Egypt where some of the food supplies have begun to rot. "There are a lot of doorways into Gaza. ... Whether by land or by sea, we don't control those doorways, but we want them all to be open," Dujarric said on Thursday.
"This represents an average of 29% of fuel allocations that would have been received under arrangements in place prior to 6 May, further affecting the functioning of bakeries, hospitals, water wells, and other critical infrastructure," it said.
