TL;DR

Preparations are underway to reopen Gaza’s Rafah crossing in a limited two-way, foot-traffic pilot, with security checks and coordination by Israel, Egypt, and the EU; capacity is around 150–200 people, mainly patients needing medical care abroad, and the crossing is expected to open for passengers on Monday despite a fragile ceasefire.
