  • Story Text:Ambulances and aid trucks were seen on Thursday (March 19) moving towards gate at Egypt’s Rafah border crossing with Gaza.
    Israel shut Gaza's borders after the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran's launch on February 28, saying crossings could not be operated safely.
    It later resumed the limited flow of goods and aid but kept shut the sole crossing for pedestrians into Egypt, at Rafah on Gaza's southern edge.
    On Sunday (March 15), Israel announced it would reopen the crossing later this week following a "security assessment."
