Egypt coordinates to open Rafah crossing and implement agreement aimed at improving conditions in Gaza
Egyptian security sources confirmed that coordination is underway to open the Rafah crossing to allow international aid to support the people of the Gaza Strip and improve their living conditions. High-level sources also indicated Egypt's readiness to bring in as much humanitarian aid as possible into the Strip.
According to informed sources, the first phase of the agreement extends to 42 days, and includes the return of the displaced to their homes without hindrance, especially in the areas of northern Gaza. On the seventh day of the first phase, freedom of movement will be allowed for residents in all areas of the Strip, and humanitarian aid will enter via Rashid Street starting from the first day.
The terms of the agreement also stipulate the withdrawal of the occupation forces from several areas, with the withdrawal taking place gradually from the center of the Gaza Strip, including the Netzarim axis and the Kuwait Roundabout axis east of Salah al-Din Road, on the twenty-second day of the first phase.
On the seventh day, Israeli military sites and installations in the Rashid Street area will be dismantled, with forces withdrawing completely from the street east of Salah al-Din.
These efforts come within the framework of working to alleviate the suffering of the residents of the Strip and support the restoration of stability in Gaza.
