As the Israel-Hamas war continues, the World Health Organization (WHO) has sought urgent access to Gaza to deliver crucial aid and medical supplies. Dr. Richard Brennan, the regional emergency director of the WHO's Eastern Mediterranean regional office, said discussions were underway to make Gaza's Rafah border crossing functional. The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza has not been closed officially. However, it has become inoperable due to Israeli retaliatory strikes on Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza, Reuters reported.
