The Rafah crossing reopened for limited movement, facilitating the return of Gazans as part of the ceasefire agreement, but the journey involves significant challenges and hardships.
The Rafah crossing, which had been closed for an extended period, reopened last week for limited traffic in both directions as part of the next phase of the ceasefire agreement announced by US President Donald Trump. As of Sunday, 284 individuals had crossed through Rafah; half left for Egypt while the other half returned to the Gaza Strip, as reported by the European monitoring force at the crossing. This limited reopening highlights the complex dynamics at play in the region regarding movement and travel for Gazans.
