In the Gaza Strip, the World Food Programme says a border crossing pivotal to providing food and supplies to Palestinians is reopening, after Israel closed Gaza’s borders on Saturday as it began its attacks on Iran. Despite the reopening of the Kerem Shalom crossing, human rights and aid organizations have accused Israel of reinstating a “starvation policy” in Gaza. Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, wrote, “After more than two years of unspeakable suffering and a spreading man-made famine, people still lack the most basic supplies, despite increases in aid since the ceasefire.”
