Israel has again allowed humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, except for the Rafah crossing

The Rafah crossing will remain closed 'without deadlines', which means, among other things, that the European Union's humanitarian mission EUBAM Rafah is still unable to enter, although it was due to enter last week, as EU High Representative Kaja Kallas explained at a press conference.

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Oct. 12, 2025  -- Staff members from Egyptian Red Crescent stand near a truck carrying humanitarian aids as it enters Gaza from the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing on Oct. 12, 2025. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Friday that Egypt has begun sending urgent food and medical aid to the Gaza Strip following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

The Israeli Government has approved the reintroduction of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip after the Sunday attacks have been suspended. Several steps will be used, especially that of Kerem Shalom, but Rafah will remain closed without opening time.

On Monday, aid began to enter Gaza after the Israeli army "inspected" thepeace agreement signed by US President Donald Trump  "in full compliance," according to Israeli security sources.

However, Binyamin Netanyahu's government does not currently plan to reopen the Rafah crossing on the border with Egypt, a point that will remain "closed" until there is a "political" decision against it, they say.



They add that in Rafah only the transit of people is expected in the future, which in principle closes the possibility of sending aid.

The EU mission in Rafah (EUBAM Rafa) , which was initially announced for last week, is also awaiting Israel's permission.
