The Rafah Border Crossing reopened on Saturday, allowing sick and wounded Palestinian children to leave Gaza for treatment in Egypt. The crossing will be run by Palestinian Authority representatives and monitored by the European Union. This reopening represents a breakthrough in the agreement between Israel and Hamas. Over 6,000 patients are ready to be evacuated abroad, but more are in urgent need of treatment. The Rafah Crossing has been closed since Israeli forces seized it in May last year.
