The Digester

A 28-minute Inside Story program says recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran have halted a partial reopening of the Rafah crossing, paused US reconstruction plans, and put ceasefire diplomacy and humanitarian relief for Gaza under renewed pressure.

Partial reopening of the Rafah crossing and limited aid deliveries to Gaza stopped after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran last month.
The United States had said its plans to rebuild Gaza were on track until the military action shifted priorities and attention away from reconstruction.
Diplomatic efforts to maintain a fragile ceasefire are under strain as regional violence redraws international focus.
Humanitarian access into and out of Gaza, which had been only limited, has largely halted, worsening conditions for civilians.
The Inside Story panel included an academic, a Palestinian NGO founder, and a former US diplomat discussing the humanitarian and diplomatic fallout.
