Rafah crossing reopens for limited movement of people

← Back to Dashboard
📅 2 February 2026 📍 Palestine

Rafah reopened for limited pedestrian movement for the first time in nearly eleven months. Patients were evacuated for treatment abroad and some Palestinians who had left during the war were permitted to return under a tightly controlled process. The reopening offered a route for medical care and family return, while eligibility, screening, and restrictions remained severe.
