Gaza’s key Rafah border crossing has reopened for limited traffic, officials have said.

The crossing, which links the Palestinian enclave with Egypt, is Gaza’s only border passage that does not lead to Israel. It’s long-awaited reopening came on Monday, for the ‍movement of ⁠residents for both ​entry ‌and exit, an Israeli ‌security ‌official said.

A vital entry point for humanitarian supplies and passage for people awaiting medical evacuation, the crossing’s reopening is stipulated under the second phase of the United States brokered ceasefire that halted the war between Israel and Hamas in October.
