Israel's Attack on Rafah Border Crossing Raises Concerns

Israel has launched a third air raid on the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, targeting the Palestinian side with four missiles, according to local Egyptian group Sinai for Human Rights. The attacks prompted the closure of the crossing, which is the only entry point not controlled by Israel. Egypt has urged Israel to provide safe passage for civilians from Gaza, expressing concern over the escalating violence. The siege of Gaza has raised fears of a humanitarian crisis, with the Israeli military ordering a "total blockade" and cutting off access to essential resources. The UN has warned that the measures taken by Israel could lead to the starvation and death of innocent people in Gaza.
