Gaza awaits the reopening of the Rafah border crossing, its link to the outside world

Palestinians and aid workers are eagerly awaiting the reopening of the Rafah border crossing, which is the Gaza Strip’s lifeline for food and other aid and its only gateway to the outside world that wasn't controlled by Israel before the war. The crossing between Gaza and Egypt will probably reopen Sunday, Israel’s foreign minister said Thursday, though it wasn't clear if it will be opened for both aid deliveries and the flow of people into and out of the territory. With much of Gaza turned to rubble and gripped by famine, it needs a massive influx of fuel, food, medicine and tents.
