Rafah Border Crossing: Scenes of Chaos and Hope Amidst Israel-Hamas War

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has opened for the first time since the Hamas attacks on Israel, allowing a group of foreign passport holders, including wounded individuals and aid workers, to leave Gaza and enter Egypt. This is the only land crossing not controlled by Israel, and approximately 500 foreign or dual nationals are expected to be allowed to leave Gaza on Wednesday. Photos show Palestinians waiting to cross into Egypt, ambulances evacuating critically injured people, and crowds gathering at the terminal.
