Israel reopens Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza in pilot phase.

Israeli authorities have partially reopened the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, announcing a trial opening on Sunday. The crossing is being prepared for fuller operation, with Gaza residents set to pass through on Monday. The reopening comes amidst ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza, with a drone strike killing two Palestinians. Meanwhile, Israel has decided to terminate Doctors Without Borders’ operations in Gaza for failing to provide a list of its Palestinian staff, further exacerbating the dire humanitarian situation in the region.
