Palestinians in Gaza voiced concerns of another famine amid food shortages and soaring prices after Israel limited the entry of fuel and goods into the strip, citing tensions with Iran. Israel closed all border crossings into the territory, then reopened the Kerem Shalom border crossing on 3 March, which has allowed for the entry of 500,000 litres of fuel and humanitarian assistance into Gaza. The UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric welcomed the move but said 300,000 litres of fuel were needed daily to maintain critical humanitarian operations in Gaza. The key Rafah border crossing with Egypt remains closed
