The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged the reopening of the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza to facilitate the entry of humanitarian supplies. This call comes after the Israeli military took control of the Palestinian side of the crossing earlier this month.
Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO representative for the West Bank and Gaza, revealed that 60 WHO trucks are currently stationed in the Egyptian city of Al Arish, approximately 45 kilometers away from Rafah, awaiting permission to enter Gaza.
