Gazans Begin Crossing Into Egypt After Months-Long Rafah Closure

Dozens of Palestinians traveled between Gaza and Egypt for the first time since the early months of Israel’s war with Hamas as the border reopened in accordance with October’s ceasefire, albeit with stringent security checks.

Foot traffic through the Rafah crossing on Monday included Palestinians seeking medical treatment abroad for war-related injuries and displaced residents returning to the devastated enclave, as US President Donald Trump seeks to build on a fragile truce with longer-term reconstruction.
