The United States has temporarily halted the shipment of bombs to Israel due to concerns over a potential offensive in Rafah, a densely populated area in Gaza. The decision aims to protect the over 1.5 million displaced people living in Rafah and prevent the impact on urban environments.

The US has signaled that more arms shipments could be delayed if Israel proceeds with the offensive. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged Israel to halt any escalation and engage in ongoing diplomatic talks.

The US is reviewing its planned military aid for Israel and has emphasized the need to protect civilian lives in Rafah. Hamas has stated that it will not make further concessions to Israel in negotiations over a ceasefire, accusing Israel of using talks as a cover to invade Rafah.

The situation in Rafah remains tense, and hospitals are at risk of being overwhelmed as the fighting intensifies.
