The army claimed earlier to have reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing after closing it on Sunday to deliver aid to Gaza upon a request from US President Joe Biden."Israeli forces are closing the Kerem Shalom crossing, preventing the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip,” its spokesperson, Hisham Adwan, told Anadolu Agency.
In a telephone call with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Blinken reaffirmed President Joe Biden's"clear position that the United States does not support a major military operation in Rafah and the United States' rejection of any forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said.
More than 1.5 million Palestinians have taken shelter in Rafah after half a year of war, and Israel has issued ultimatum for residents of the east of the city to flee. UNRWA and staff from other UN agencies at the time were on the compound, which has on its grounds petrol and diesel stations for a fleet of UN cars.
