Rafah crossing to open 'in both directions' next week: Gaza administrator

The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza is set to reopen in both directions next week, as announced by newly-appointed Gaza administrator Ali Shaath at a conference in Davos. This development is part of a truce plan supported by former President Trump, which has kept the crossing closed during the recent Israel-Hamas conflict.

Trucks loaded with humanitarian aid on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing wait to cross into the Gaza Strip early on October 15, 2025, after Israel said it would allow the crossing to reopen for humanitarian aid to enter from Egypt into the Palestinian territory. The UN and aid organisations have urged the reopening of the major crossing as Gaza faces a devastating humanitarian crisis after two years of war in the territory, sparked by Hamas October 7, 2023 attack.
