AI Summary

short article 1 min

Palestinian patients requiring specialized medical treatment are awaiting the potential reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. This hope stems from the return of the remains of the last captive to Israel on Monday, January 26, 2026, which is considered a crucial element in the initial phase of the US-supported initiative aimed at ending the ongoing war. The reopening of the Rafah border would allow these patients to access advanced medical care unavailable in Gaza. The border's closure has severely restricted the ability of Palestinians to seek necessary medical treatment abroad.
