About 150 people have been permitted to enter the Gaza enclave in the week since the Rafah crossing reopened. Eyewitness accounts, videos and satellite images show how a short route can take an entire day to traverse
After a prolonged closure, the Rafah Crossing reopened last week to limited traffic in and out of the Gaza Strip, in line with the implementation of Phase 2 of the cease-fire declared by U.S. President Donald Trump. As of Sunday, 284 people had passed through the crossing – half leaving for Egypt and half entering Gaza – according to the European supervisory team stationed there.
