UN welcomes reopening of Gaza’s Rafah border with Egypt
AI Summary
In February 2026, the UN welcomed the reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. The crossing had been closed by Israel for nearly two years. UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric acknowledged the significance of the reopening. However, he noted that access remained limited, as only five Palestinian patients have been able to cross into Egypt for urgent medical care despite thousands needing it. The Rafah crossing is a vital point of access for Palestinians in Gaza, particularly for those requiring medical treatment unavailable within the territory.
