The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will reopen on Sunday, according to COGAT, the Israeli government agency responsible for coordinating civilian affairs in Gaza. The crossing has been closed for a period, affecting movement in and out of the Gaza Strip.
COGAT’s announcement marks a significant development for residents of Gaza, allowing for renewed travel and transport through the southern border with Egypt.
**Why this matters**
The reopening of the Rafah crossing is crucial for Gaza’s population, providing access for humanitarian aid, medical treatment, and family visits. It also plays an important role in easing the blockade-related restrictions on the movement of people and goods.
