UN, Red Cross demand opening of all Gaza crossings to let in aid
The UN and International Committee of the Red Cross stress urgent aid access as Gaza faces famine and destruction after two years of war, with crossings partially damaged.
- On Tuesday the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross urged all crossings into Gaza be opened for aid, with Jens Laerke saying `We need all of them open`.
- The two-year war and a U.S.-brokered ceasefire have left Gaza largely uninhabitable, with experts warning 500,000 face a 'catastrophic' threat after the Aug. 22 famine declaration.
- Operational hurdles such as damaged crossings and uncleared roads mean the Rafah border crossing will stay closed through Wednesday, limiting aid flow despite WHO deploying an emergency medical team and 8 trucks of supplies.
- The International Committee of the Red Cross cautioned that handing over remains is a "massive challenge" that could take days or weeks, while Israel Katz warned delays would breach the ceasefire after Hamas returned only four of 28 deceased hostages.
- Reconstruction and governance face questions over Gaza's future, as Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal remain unresolved despite early pledges for $70 billion and 55 million tons of rubble, UNDP officials said.
