Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt reopened on Sunday for a limited pedestrian pilot program, following its closure after the IDF captured it in May 2024. The Israeli Defence Ministry confirmed that movement of residents would commence the next day, while Egyptian Red Crescent ambulances entered Gaza to assist in evacuating the sick and wounded. This reopening is part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Hamas and includes strict coordination with Egyptian authorities and EU monitors. Despite rising violence in the region, humanitarian efforts continue, with thousands of aid trucks recently entering Gaza.
