War on Gaza Israel-Egypt Rafah spat puts Biden in a bind
The Biden administration struggles to respond as two allies battle over who should control Gaza's lifeline.
The deepening spat between Egypt and Israel over Rafah’s shuttered border crossing is putting the Biden administration in a bind, as the minor progress it made increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza slows to a snail's pace. For months, the Biden administration has said it is prioritising surging more humanitarian aid into Gaza. While the amount of aid reaching Gaza had been minimal compared to before Israel’s invasion of the besieged enclave, US officials and aid workers had noted some small gains in deliveries. The number of aid trucks entering Gaza had nearly doubled from 2,545 in the month of November to 5,671 in April, according to the UN. That amount was just 37 percent of the number of trucks entering Gaza before the war broke out on 7 October, when 80 percent of Gaza’s population relied on aid. But with the closing of Rafah’s border crossing, the situation has deteriorated further.
This week, the World Food Programme warned that the “modest progress” made in boosting aid deliveries was at risk and that famine “never loomed larger” in the enclave. The UN agency said it hasn’t been able to access its warehouses in Rafah for more than a week because of the fighting there.
The focal point of the crisis is Rafah, the southern Gaza border town where over a million Palestinians are sheltered, and the Strip's main outlet for aid through its crossing with Egypt.
