Gaza Border Crisis: Humanitarian Aid Blocked, Catastrophe Looms

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that there are only 24 hours left of water, electricity, and fuel in Gaza before a "real catastrophe" occurs. Egyptian authorities have accused Israel of not cooperating in delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, where Israeli air strikes have killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands. Israel has shown little interest in allowing aid into Gaza, with the Israeli Energy Minister opposing the opening of the blockade on humanitarian grounds. The United States has expressed support for allowing aid into Gaza, and the United Nations humanitarian chief will travel to the Middle East for negotiations.
