Israeli forces seized control of the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza, leading to a shutdown that impacted the flow of humanitarian aid, affecting 1 million people. Despite this, the Israeli military managed to reopen the Kerem Shalom crossing for aid delivery, although it faced repeated attacks by Hamas, including an incident where 4 Israeli troops were killed. The United Nations reported significant disruptions to aid, with essential supplies like fuel and water at critically low levels, threatening a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Rafah crossing remains closed.
