Gaza awaits the reopening of the Rafah border crossing, its link to the outside world
Israel agreed to humanitarian terms for Rafah reopening, allowing multiple daily aid truckloads to support Gaza’s urgent need for food, medicine, and fuel, officials said.
- On Sunday, Israel's foreign minister said the Rafah crossing will probably reopen, restoring Gaza Strip's lifeline as Israel agreed to the ceasefire's humanitarian terms allowing daily aid truckloads.
- After the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, Egypt tightened Rafah restrictions and Israel closed the Gaza side except for occasional medical evacuations amid fighting.
- With Gaza facing famine, 400 truckloads of fuel, food, medicine and tents passed through Egypt Wednesday, and the World Food Program said some trucks have reached Palestinians.
- The ceasefire's ban on Hamas means it's unclear who will run Rafah's Gaza side, while the European Union said it may redeploy a mission if safe, and Sami al-Arian urged Palestinian control with UN or EU help.
- Although Gaza has four other border crossings shared with Israel, only Rafah links the territory to Egypt, easing medical travel and restoring Palestinian-made olive oil exports across the Arab world.
