Following the conclusion of the first stage of the agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has suspended the delivery of all humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports.

“Right now in Rafah, we see no sign of aid coming in so far,” he adds, describing the situation as “very critical”.

Azzoum reports that families have started to rush to local markets or stand at the gates of UN agencies and warehouses to get aid. “They believe the possibility of the war resuming again is high,” he adds.
