The Rafah crossing has reopened for the first time since Israel's capture in May last year, facilitating the evacuation of about 50 Palestinian children for medical treatment in Egypt. This development follows the release of hostages by Hamas and is seen as integral to ongoing ceasefire agreements mediated by Egypt. The situation remains critical, as Gaza's health sector is severely compromised due to Israel's operations, necessitating these evacuations for children suffering from serious health conditions, reflecting the dire humanitarian needs in the region.
Around 50 sick and injured Palestinian children were transported to Egypt for treatment through Gaza's Rafah crossing, marking the first opening of the border since Israel captured it.
The reopening of Rafah is seen as a significant breakthrough, strengthening the truce between Israel and Hamas agreed upon after 15 months of conflict.
