Rafah border crossing is still open from the Egyptian side for the 40th day in a row waiting for the arrival of injured Palestinians and patients and their companions to receive treatment while the Israeli authorities continue to close it from the Palestinian side, an official source at Rafah terminal said on Saturday 26/4/2025.
Meanwhile, medical teams and ambulances are ready for the arrival of the injured and patients, the source added in statements.
Till March 18, the source said 1,700 wounded Palestinians and patients, in addition to 2,500 companions arrived at the terminal.
The Israeli occupation authorities have been shutting the Rafah border crossing from the Palestinian side since March 2, preventing the passage of trucks carrying humanitarian aid and heavy equipment needed for reconstruction efforts in Gaza, which has suffered vast destruction due to Israel’s 15-month aggression on the Palestinian enclave, the same source noted.
