  • 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.
