Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt reopened on Monday for limited traffic, a key step in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire but a mostly symbolic one as few people will be allowed to travel in either direction and no goods will pass through.
An Egyptian official said 50 Palestinians were expected to cross in each direction on the first day of Rafah’s operation. Within the first few hours of the opening, no one was seen crossing in or out of Gaza. About 20,000 Palestinian children and adults needing medical care hope to leave the devastated territory via the crossing, according to Gaza health officials.
Thousands of other Palestinians outside the territory hope to enter and return home.
