The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt remains closed, despite international efforts to broker an opening. This has delayed the evacuation of foreign nationals, including Palestinian Americans, and the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid. The Israeli prime minister's office has denied reports of a ceasefire, while aid trucks are reportedly en route to the Gaza-Egypt border. The ongoing closure has left hundreds stranded amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with severe shortages of clean water, food, fuel, medical supplies, and electricity. World leaders continue to call for the opening of the crossing.
