People walk through a gate to enter the Rafah border crossing to Egypt in the southern Gaza Strip on November 1, 2023.This is a major breakthrough. While small amounts of humanitarian aid have been reaching the Palestinian territory in recent weeks – such as food, water and medicine – this is the first time people have been able to leave Gaza.
Its opening followed negotiations between Egypt, Israel and Hamas, along with interventions from the US and Qatar as a mediator. It came after mounting calls for more humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza.This is the moment the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt was opened to people for the first time since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza.
For the 2.3 million people who live in Gaza, electricity and water supplies have been cut off, and imported goods – including food and fuel – have been blocked by the Israeli army for almost a month now.Egypt did ask Israel to stop the strikes near the crucial terminal on October 12 to offer a “support lifeline” for people in Gaza, explaining that it wanted guarantees for the safety of its staff before it would deliver humanitarian aid.
If Palestinians wanted to leave Rafah even before the war they had to register with local Palestinian authorities two to four weeks in advance and often faced rejection with little explanation.People have been gathering around the opening for weeks now, but disagreements between Egypt, Israel and Hamas prevented it opening sooner.
