A limited number of Palestinians crossed between Gaza and Egypt on Sunday as the Rafah border crossing resumed operations following a two-day shutdown, according to Egyptian state media. The crossing had been closed temporarily, restricting movement in and out of Gaza.
The reopening allowed some travel and transport to resume, though the volume of crossings remained low. Authorities continue to monitor the situation at the border.
**Why this matters**
The Rafah crossing is a critical gateway for Palestinians in Gaza to access Egypt and the outside world. Its operation affects the flow of people, goods, and humanitarian aid, impacting daily life and economic conditions in the region. Temporary closures can exacerbate challenges faced by residents in Gaza.
