Rafah reopening ‘extremely important’ for wounded Gaza children’s treatment, return: UNICEF

The Rafah Crossing, once Gaza's main lifeline to the outside world, is reopening after being shut for almost two years. Israel says procedures are being tested to allow for the limited passage of residents on Monday. Ambulances are already queuing on the Egyptian side of the crossing. Thousands of sick and wounded Palestinians are seeking urgent medical care abroad. But Israel is expected to control the numbers allowed to leave and Palestinians fear many won't be let back in. Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud is in Khan Younis. He explains how Rafah's limited reopening won't do much to make life easier for Palestinians in Gaza. Jonathan Crickx is chief of communications for the UN children's agency in Palestine (UNICEF). He says Rafah's reopening is crucial for sick and injured children to access lifesaving medical care outside Gaza and then return home. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly
