The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened Sunday, February 1, 2026, on a limited trial basis, sparking hope for eased humanitarian access. Dozens of ambulances and aid trucks rolled into Gaza during the pilot phase, with full operations set to begin Monday.
💬 'This could save lives,' said one Gaza resident, describing shortages of medical supplies and food. Egyptian authorities coordinated the trial to test logistics before scaling up deliveries this week.
🌍 The reopening marks a critical step in addressing Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, though challenges remain. Analysts warn sustained access will depend on regional cooperation and security conditions.
