Rafah Crossing Reopens: 20,000 Gaza Patients to Receive Treatment in Egypt, Reports Say↔Starting Monday, 150 patients will enter Egypt daily for care, while another 150 recovered Palestinians will return to Gaza each day, an Egyptian source told a Saudi Arabian TV news channel.The Rafah border crossing—Gaza’s only land passage not controlled by Israel—reopened on Sunday in a limited “test mode,” with full two-way operations starting Monday, the Israeli authorities announced.ℹ The crossing had remained closed on the Gaza side since May 2024, when Israeli forces took control of the area. Rafah serves as a lifeline for humanitarian aid, medical evacuations, and civilian movement—and its repeated closures have directly worsened Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
