Israeli occupation forces continue their closure of the Karm Abu Salem and Beit Hanoun crossings in the Gaza Strip for the 15th consecutive day, resulting so far in a complete blockade on humanitarian aid, Wafa reports.

Following the decision to close the border crossings and suspend the flow of goods, the government and international organisations have issued urgent warnings about the potential return of widespread hunger to the Gaza Strip if the closure continues.

“This arbitrary decision has worsened the humanitarian situation, leading to an immediate and drastic increase in the prices of essential goods and commodities, while many products have completely disappeared from the markets,” Wafa said.
