"The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has finally reopened after months of closure as a result of Israel's devastating war on the Gaza Strip. Hopes were running high that the freedom of movement would ease the dire humanitarian crisis created by this war. But Israel has set strict conditions on who can leave the Strip and who can enter. Now, only a small number of people are allowed to move in both directions mainly for medical evacuations."
"But much-needed humanitarian aid and construction materials are still barred from entering the Strip, which is in ruins. Will this reopening ease the suffering of Palestinians after two years of war?

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has reopened after months of closure caused by Israel's war on the Gaza Strip. Movement through the crossing is tightly controlled by Israeli conditions on who may leave and who may enter. Only a small number of people are permitted to move in both directions, primarily for medical evacuations. Humanitarian aid and construction materials remain barred from entering the Strip, which is described as being in ruins. Questions remain about whether the limited reopening will meaningfully ease Palestinian suffering after two years of war. Presenter: Maleen Saeed; Guests: Hussein Haridy, Mosab Nasser, Akiva Eldar.
