Sick and wounded Palestinian children wait for evacuation as Rafah crossing reopens

Palestinian Red Crescent crews prepare sick and wounded children to be evacuated from Gaza into Egypt as Israel reopens the critical Rafah crossing after nine months. The reopening is part of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, and allows for medical evacuations for patients with urgent care needs. The crossing is a vital conduit into Gaza, and its closure caused outcry for trapping people with medical needs inside the territory
