European Union foreign ministers agreed on Monday to resume monitoring at the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, European foreign policy chief Kaya Kallas said.

"Everyone agrees that the EU Border Assistance Mission in Rafah (EUBAM Rafah) can play a crucial role in supporting the ceasefire," the EU foreign policy chief said.

"Today, EU foreign ministers agreed to redeploy the mission at the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, which will allow a number of injured people to leave Gaza and receive medical care," Kallas added.
