Blinken visits Keren Shalom crossing to look over aid delivery to Gaza

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travelled to a key Gaza crossing a few kilometres from the southern city of Rafah on Wednesday to examine aid shipments to Gaza.

Blinken also used the visit to raise concerns about the rate of aid entering Gaza and reinstated US opposition to a military operation in Rafah in the absence of a humanitarian plan.
