Gaza Rafah Crossing Resumes February 2

Gaza's Rafah Crossing Resumes Travel

The Rafah crossing, a crucial link between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, is set to reopen for limited travel on February 2, 2026. After a test period, Israeli authorities have permitted a small number of individuals to cross initially. Trucks filled with humanitarian aid are positioned at the Egyptian entrance, ready for inspection before entering Gaza.

This decision aims to enable the movement of residents while ensuring that essential supplies reach those in need. The resumption of this crossing is a step toward maintaining the flow of goods and people between the two territories.
