The United States has temporarily halted the shipment of bombs to Israel due to concerns about their potential use in Rafah, a densely populated area in Gaza. This decision aims to protect civilians and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.

US officials have signaled that more arms shipments could be delayed if Israel proceeds with the offensive. Israel launched a major military offensive in Rafah, cutting off aid and seizing control of a key border crossing.

The UN warns of a human catastrophe and urges Israel to halt the escalation. The situation in Rafah remains tense as talks for a ceasefire continue.
