  • RAFAH, EGYPT - FEBRUARY 1: Ambulances and medical teams affiliated with the Egyptian Ministry of Health arrive at the Rafah Border Crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border, standing by to enter Gaza to provide humanitarian aid and medical support if the crossing is opened, in Rafah, Egypt, on February 1, 2026. The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been reopened as part of a âpilot operation❠after nearly two years of closure, according to Israeli media on Sunday morning. The paper said that Palestinians who left Gaza during the Israeli war will only be allowed to return to the enclave through the terminal. No official statements were immediately issued by Israeli, Egyptian, or Palestinian authorities regarding the report. (Photo by Ahmed Sayed/Anadolu via Getty Images)
