Rafah crossing reopened in Feb 2026 under U.S. deal, but limited access persists amid Israeli restrictions and unmet evacuation needs.
The Rafah border crossing reopened in February 2026 under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, allowing limited movement for Palestinians, but traffic remains far below agreed levels.
Over 1,100 have crossed since February 2, with most being medical evacuees or returning patients, while daily truck traffic averages only 100—well below the needed 600.
Hamas and Palestinian groups accuse Israel of violating the deal by restricting departures, conducting harsh interrogations, and confiscating belongings.
Despite the fragile calm, Israel maintains security control, and humanitarian access remains severely limited, with over 20,000 sick and injured still awaiting evacuation.
El cruce de Rafah se reabrió en febrero de 2026 bajo un acuerdo con los Estados Unidos, pero el acceso limitado persiste en medio de las restricciones israelíes y las necesidades de evacuación no satisfechas.
