The flow of aid into Gaza has hit its lowest level since the start of the war. Aid deliveries containing urgently needed food, water and medical supplies have not been entering Gaza at their usual levels since the war began, but shortages worsened after IDF troops took “operational control” of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing in May.
This sentence grossly misleads readers by obfuscating the fact that it was Egypt which closed the Rafah crossing in ‘protest’ after Israel took control of the Gaza side of that humanitarian passage, and continues refusing Jerusalem’s requests to re-open it.
This fact has been widely reported, including at pro-Palestinian outlets.
In fact, in August, the Financial Times corrected an article with the same error following our complaint, making it clear that Egypt closed the Rafah crossing after Israel seized the Gaza side. (Additionally, we prompted a correction to that inaccuracy in a report at Channel 4 News back in June.)
