Gaza awaits the opening of the Rafah border crossing
While awaiting the announced offensive “by land, sea and air” of the Israeli army on the Gaza Strip, the Gazan population waits expectantly for the opening of the Rafah border crossing, which had been announced at the beginning of the day but is being the subject of discussion by the newly formed emergency government of Israel.
The opening of this Rafah border crossing, which borders with Egypt and controls this country and is the only one that has had a more or less regular operation in the south of the Strip, is key to easing the blockade and providing access to humanitarian aid. Thousands of people gather in Rafah waiting for the crossing to be reopened, after Gaza City suffered the biggest bombardment last night since the crisis between Israel and Hamas began. The UN denounces that until Sunday the Rafah area has suffered bombings and that a humanitarian corridor has not been provided for the transit of people from the north to the south.
