New plans are underway to reopen the Rafah border crossing to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza. Representatives from the U.S., Israel, and Egypt are scheduled to meet in Cairo to discuss the reopening of the Rafah border crossing. This crossing is the second most important entry point for humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, following the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Since Israel took control of the border, Egypt has halted the flow of humanitarian aid through the Rafah crossing, citing concerns about the safety of aid truck drivers due to potential targeting by Hamas militants. The closure of the crossing has led to a shortage of essential supplies such as food, medicine, and fuel in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
