00:00Palestinian families were waiting in Han Yunus on Monday for their relatives expected to arrive
00:07from Egypt now that the Rafah crossing with Gaza has reopened. The border post has been closed since
00:14it was seized by Israeli troops in May 2024. I hope the crossing will open not just for sick
00:22people to return or leave. God willing, the crossing will open for everyone and things
00:28will return to normal as they were before the war. The opening is a key step in the ceasefire
00:35with Israel, but few Palestinians will be allowed to cross and no goods can pass through. This man
00:42is waiting for his daughter. By the will of God, they return to their families. The sick travel
00:48and recover, and those abroad return safe and return to their country, and the crossing remains
00:54open 24 hours. About 20,000 Palestinians needing medical care are hoping to leave Gaza, according
01:03to local officials.
