The deliberate targeting of the Rafah Crossing not only impedes international efforts to aid the besieged Palestinian population in Gaza but also obstructs the entry of essential humanitarian assistance.

ALBAWABA- In a concerning escalation, Israel has once again bombed the Gaza Rafah Crossing, a critical link between Gaza and Egypt, marking the second such attack since the initiation of its military offensive against Gaza. 

This strategic move appears aimed at reinforcing barriers to open the sole gateway connecting Gaza to the external world through Egypt. 

The deliberate targeting of the Rafah Crossing not only impedes international efforts to aid the besieged Palestinian population in Gaza but also obstructs the entry of essential humanitarian assistance. 

As tensions in the region continue to rise, Israel's military actions are raising alarms about the dire humanitarian consequences faced by the people of Gaza.
