The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened on Monday, allowing a small group of injured Palestinians and their companions to enter Egypt for medical treatment. This limited reopening is part of the second phase of a truce plan, following demands from the United Nations and humanitarian organizations amid worsening conditions in Gaza after two years of conflict. Egyptian authorities have prepared extensive medical resources, including hundreds of hospitals and ambulances, to receive patients from Gaza. Despite the reopening, thousands in Gaza remain in urgent need of care, and the situation continues to be dire as Israeli strikes persist in the region.
