AID workers said today that they were struggling to distribute dwindling food and other supplies to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by Israel’s intensified assault in Rafah.

The two main crossings near the southern Gaza city remain closed.

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees said 360,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah over the past week, out of 1.3 million who were sheltering there before the operation began.
