Rafah Crossing opened for medical evacuation this past Monday for the first time since May 2024. In the 24 hours preceding the opening, Israel killed 30 Palestinians in air strikes. At time of writing, another wave of air strikes has killed at least 23 people since dawn today. Israel has violated the "ceasefire" agreement 1,520 times, continuing to critically injure and permanently disable hundreds of people.
Gaza Ministry of Health estimates that 20,000 people urgently need to evacuate Gaza to seek medical care, but Israel states they'll only let 50 Palestinians through Rafah each day. In practice restrictions are even worse: Israel only approved travel for 5 patients on the first day and 16 on the second.
