US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Egypt to do everything it can to make sure humanitarian aid is flowing into Gaza.
Blinken told a hearing in the House of Representatives that fighting near the Rafah crossing, which Israel seized earlier this month, had made the environment for providing assistance challenging.
“So we need to find a way to make sure that the assistance that would go through Rafah can get through safely, but we do strongly urge our Egyptian partners to do everything that they can on their end of things to make sure that assistance is flowing,” Blinken said.
