Dreams and delays at Rafah - first Gazans to cross after long wait
After waiting years, Monther and his son finally crossed Rafah with only days' notice - allowed two bags each and facing security checks and delays. Mahmoud’s treatment in Egypt helped, but their home in Tel Al Hawa is gone; they'll return to a tent in Al Mawasi. For others like Randa, Rafah is a lifeline out for urgent medical care after repeated closures left patients stranded. The crossing’s sporadic openings have been limited mainly to medical cases, leaving many trapped on both sides.
