(2024·江苏南京高二期末)The United Nations food agency is unable to feed most civilians in Rafah, its local director warned on Friday, with most border crossings closed amid what he described as "apocalyptic(大灾难的) conditions" and the Israeli military pushing further into Gaza's(加沙) southernmost city.
The World Food Programme (WFP) is currently serving only 27,000 people in Rafah, according to Matthew Hollingworth, the organisation's country director in Gaza. That's a tiny proportion of the roughly one million Gazans who have been displaced from the area.
"The sounds, the smells, the everyday life are horrific and apocalyptic," Hollingworth told journalists on Friday after returning from a trip to Gaza. "People sleep to the sounds of bombing, they sleep to the sounds of drones, they sleep to the sounds of war, as now tanks roll into parts of central Rafah, which is only kilometres away."
Rafah had previously been the central artery(干线) for aid to flow into Gaza, as the only border crossing not controlled by Israel. But since Israel seized control of the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing on 7 May, aid has been blocked, with supplies piling up in Egypt and the critical path falling close to famine. "From the 7th of May to the 20th, not a single WFP truck crossed from the southern corridors of Egypt into Rafah," he said.
Israel's military has continued to push further into Rafah, defying international concern and anger over its operations in the city. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Friday that its troops were in central Rafah—confirming what eyewitnesses told earlier this week, when tanks were spotted there for the first time since it entered the city in May.
The IDF's operations in Rafah have prompted a 67% drop in the amount of humanitarian aid getting through, according to the UN.
Gaza is now receiving a daily average of 58 aid trucks—down from the daily average of 176 trucks between April and May, which itself is far from the 500 trucks that used to enter Gaza each day before the war broke out in October.
Hollingworth added that the WFP's warehouse in Rafah, which was once capable of storing 2,700 tons of food, is no longer operational.
"We do not have the supplies available to provide significant numbers of ready-to-eat ration boxes. We don't have significant supplies of wheat flour to hand out to those families that have a stove to cook on," Hollingworth said—but added they are providing around 400,000 hot meals to families in central Rafah.
