Palestinians in West Bank stranded as Israel shuts only international crossing
Israel shuts only crossing between West Bank and Jordan, leaving 2 million Palestinians stranded. The Allenby Bridge closure, ordered by Israeli authorities without explanation, halts travel for Palestinians in the West Bank, disrupting family ties and essential trips. This move comes after the shooting of Israeli soldiers near the crossing, raising concerns about access to medical supplies and humanitarian aid to the West Bank.
