    Israel Confirms Rafah Border Crossing Closure Until Wednesday

    Current Situation at Rafah Border Crossing

    JERUSALEM (Reuters) -The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will stay closed through Wednesday and the flow of aid into the Palestinian enclave will be reduced, three Israeli officials said on Tuesday.

    Reasons for Border Closure

    The decision came after Palestinian militant group Hamas did not hand over bodies of hostages it is holding as part of the new U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal, the officials said, without elaborating on how long the move would last.

    Implications for Humanitarian Aid

    Hamas previously indicated that recovering the bodies of some dead hostages may take longer, as not all burial sites amid the widespread rubble of Gaza are known.
