14 October 2023 09:34 BST
Egypt has closed off the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip by erecting a barrier, according to a rights group.
The Egyptian military constructed a concrete barrier on its side of the crossing and deployed military reinforcements along the border, according to Sinai for Human Rights.
The Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza - the only gateway in and out of the besieged enclave - was targeted by three separate Israeli strikes in the space of 24 hours earlier this week.
