UN halts food distribution in Rafah, Gaza due to supply shortage and insecurity.

The UN has halted food distribution in Rafah, Gaza due to a lack of supplies and insecurity. The humanitarian crisis has escalated since Israel's incursion into Rafah closed a vital border crossing, with only seven of the UNRWA's 24 health centres operational and no medical supplies received in the past 10 days. Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the UN's World Food Programme, warns that "humanitarian operations in Gaza are near collapse."
