The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Tuesday it had suspended food distribution in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip.
In a post on X, UNRWA stated the decision came "due to lack of supplies and insecurity."
Food distributions in Rafah are currently suspended due to lack of supplies and insecurity. Only 7 out of 24 UNRWA health centres are operational. In the last ten days they have not received any medical supplies due to Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossing closures/disruptions.
