The reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been met with mixed reactions, as reported by various news sources. According to Al Jazeera, the crossing, which had been closed for nearly two years, was reopened on February 2, 2026, as part of a US-brokered ceasefire agreement. However, the reopening is limited, with only 150-200 people allowed to pass through daily, and only 50 patients permitted to enter Egypt for medical treatment each day (Al Jazeera, February 02, 2026). The Frontier Post noted that on the first day, 'five injured people and seven companions' were able to cross into Egypt, highlighting the restricted nature of this humanitarian effort (The Frontier Post, February 03, 2026). This limited reopening has been criticized for being insufficient to address the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where thousands are in need of medical care.
