‘It is imperative that all crossings be reopened as soon as possible,’ says spokesperson.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3 Mar 2026\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0The UN said yesterday that Israel has closed all crossings into the Gaza Strip and suspended humanitarian movements in and near areas where Israeli forces remain deployed.<\/p>\n

“Israeli authorities have closed all crossings, including Rafah, and have suspended humanitarian movements in and near areas where Israeli troops remain deployed in Gaza. And they’ve also postponed planned rotation for our humanitarian personnel,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told a news conference.<\/p>\n

“Medical evacuations and the return of people into Gaza have also been suspended as a result,” Dujarric said, stressing that people in Gaza rely on consistent aid deliveries.<\/p>\n

“People in Gaza, as you know, rely on a steady flow of humanitarian commercial goods from outside. Given the limited storage capacity and destruction across this war-torn area, we and our partners had worked hard to maintain a sustained and predictable flow of supplies despite the continuing restrictions, but that cannot continue under full blockade,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It is imperative that all crossings be reopened as soon as possible,” he added.<\/p>\n

In the occupied West Bank, Dujarric said Israeli forces have kept most checkpoints closed, restricting movement between Palestinian cities and governorates and limiting access to livelihoods and services.<\/p>\n

“International humanitarian law is clear. As we keep saying every day and often, many times a day, civilians must be protected and their essential needs met, including through unimpeded entry, movement and distribution of humanitarian assistance,” he said.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, the US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, claiming it was meant to remove \u201cthreats\u201d posed by the Iranian \u201cregime.\u201d In response, Iran targeted Israel and US bases in the region with missiles and drones.<\/p>\n

Israel declared a \u201cspecial and immediate state of emergency\u201d nationwide.<\/p>\n
