  • The invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza is progressing despite efforts to stop it.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has plans to displace the population to a coastal area called a 'humanitarian zone'.
  • Israel aims to control the entry of supplies into the Strip, and has been doing so for nearly 20 years.
  • The passage of Rafah is essential for the entry of supplies, but Egypt refuses to reopen the border.
  • The United States has built a military dock to allow the arrival of supplies, but insists that cannot be the only avenue for aid.
  • U.S. strategy is contradictory, providing both arms to Israel and humanitarian aid to Gaza at the same time.
  • The UN Secretary General is questioning whether enough aid can be introduced to keep people alive in Gaza.
