Only 12 Palestinians entered Gaza through Rafah while five patients and their escorts were allowed to leave for Egypt. Only five medical evacuees were allowed to leave Gaza, and just 12 Palestinians were allowed to return to the war-torn territory due to delays imposed by Israeli authorities as the Rafah border crossing with Egypt finally reopened. The long-awaited reopening of the territory's southern border crossing with Egypt on Monday was supposed to alleviate more than 18 months of a punishing military siege on Gaza.
