This move has led to a complete halt of aid shipments, with Red Crescent sources in Egypt confirming that no aid trucks have managed to enter Gaza since last Tuesday.
To what extent are Gaza crossings (Rafah and Kerem Abu-Salem) a matter of life or death for Palestinians?
The closure of the Rafah and Kerem Abu-Salem crossings, the latter controlled by Israel, has severely restricted the flow of aid into southern Gaza.

The shutdown of the Rafah crossing also has significant implications for the health sector in Gaza. The crossing is a vital exit point for injured and ill individuals needing medical treatment abroad.
