The Rafah border crossing has reopened, allowing sick and injured Palestinians, including children and wounded members of Hamas, to cross into Egypt. This moment follows the release of three Israeli hostages by Hamas and is a result of a complex ceasefire agreement. The United Nations had previously called for urgent medical evacuations, highlighting the dire situation of children in Gaza. The reopening comes after a lengthy nine-month closure due to Israeli control, making it an important development for medical aid and humanitarian reasons.
The reopening of the Rafah border crossing, which had been closed for nine months, is a significant breakthrough in the ceasefire agreement amid international calls for medical evacuations from Gaza.
As part of the ceasefire deal, Israeli forces' closure of the Rafah crossing for medical cases faced overwhelming international criticism, making this reopening a moment of hope for many in Gaza.
