Rafah border reopens to foreign nationals and badly injured

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has today reopened to foreign nationals and badly injured Palestinians seeking medical attention.

Rafah has been the only crossing open into and out of Gaza since Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October and the Israeli military started its retaliatory strikes. It’s where humanitarian aid has made its way into the Palestinian enclave.

In recent days, the border has been used by foreign passport holders to get out of the Strip, if they have had their names published on official lists of people cleared to cross.

Hundreds have so far made it out of Gaza, but thousands remain.
