The Israeli occupation forces continue to close the Kerem Shalom and Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossings for the fifteenth consecutive day, completely halting the entry of aid.

Following the decision to close border crossings and halt the flow of goods, governmental and international organizations warned of a return to starvation in the Gaza Strip if the closure remains in place.

As a result of this arbitrary decision, the humanitarian situation has worsened, with prices of basic goods and commodities skyrocketing immediately and dramatically, and most goods disappearing from the market.
