The Rafah crossing, a crucial point of entry to Gaza, is preparing to resume limited travel on Monday, February 2, 2026. On Sunday, trucks carrying aid supplies and blankets entered the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, en route to the Kerem Shalom crossing for inspection by Israeli authorities. Humanitarian aid, including food, is being transported through the crossing to assist the Gaza Strip. Ambulances were also seen lining up at the Egyptian gate, presumably to transport people in need of medical care. The Rafah crossing serves as a vital link for the movement of goods and people in and out of Gaza.
