Sick and wounded children begin crossing from Gaza to Egypt in first opening in months

A group of 50 sick and wounded Palestinian children began crossing through Gaza’s Rafah crossing into Egypt on Saturday for treatment. It is the first opening of the border since Israel captured it nearly nine months ago. The reopening of the Rafah crossing represents a significant breakthrough that bolsters the ceasefire deal Israel and Hamas agreed to earlier this month. Israel agreed to reopen the crossing after Hamas released the last living female hostages in Gaza.
