Navigating the Challenges of Gaza's Border Crossings
TL;DR Summary
The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt serves as a vital lifeline for the two million residents of Gaza, allowing them access to essential resources and connections to the outside world. However, the border operates selectively and is not open 24/7 due to restrictions imposed by Israel and Egypt. Over the years, the border has seen shifts, closures, and the construction of illicit tunnels. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, the Rafah border plays a crucial role in evacuations and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
