U.N. agencies said on Tuesday the two main crossings into the southern Gaza Strip remained shut, virtually cutting off the Palestinian enclave from outside aid with few stocks positioned inside.

The global agency’s humanitarian office spokesperson Jens Laerke told journalists Israel had shut both the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings for aid and people as part of its military operation in Rafah, where around 1 million uprooted people are sheltering.

    Why doesn’t Israel take the refugees? They claim that they’re targeting only hamas after all and that they care a lot about innocents, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

    Besides that, if Palestinians leave their homes then Israel will just do more illegal land grabs and settlements.

      I don’t think any of us would accept Israel taking the children. Obviously nobody wants a refugee crisis, but Israel would be the cause of that refugee crisis, not the solution.
