The Rafah Border Crossing (Arabic:معبر رفحMa`bar Rafaḥ, Hebrew:מעבר רפיח) or Rafah Crossing Point is the sole crossing point between Egypt and Gaza and between Egypt and the State of Palestine. It is located on the Gaza–Egypt border, which was recognized by the 1979 Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty. The original crossing point was named Rafah land port. Only passage of persons takes place through the Rafah Border Crossing. All traffic of goods is diverted to the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
The gates
The Rafah land port became the primary border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, managed by the Israel Airports Authority until Israel had dismantled its settlements in Gaza on 11 September 2005 as part of a disengagement plan. It subsequently became the task of the European Union Border Assistance Mission Rafah (EUBAM) to monitor the crossing. The Rafah land port, known as the "Salah al Din Gate" is located at the original Rafah crossing on the Salah al-Din Road, the main highway of Gaza from Erez to Rafah. Rafah land port was bombed by Israel in October 2009 allegedly to destroy tunnels.
When Israel withdrew from the Sinai in 1982, Rafah was split into a Gazan part and an Egyptian part, dividing families, separated by barbed-wire barriers. The core of the city was destroyed by Israel and Egypt to create a large buffer zone.
Over the ages it has been known as "Robihwa" by the ancient Egyptians, "Rafihu" by the Assyrians, "Ῥαφία, Rhaphia" by the Greeks, "Raphia" by Romans, רפיח "Rafiaḥ" by the Israelites, "Rafh" by the Arab Caliphate. The transliteration of the Hebrew name, "Rafiah", is used in modern English alongside "Rafah"

Why is Rafah crossing tightly controlled? BBC Africa
The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened on Wednesday to allow a number of seriously injured people and foreign nationals to leave Gaza for the first time since the war began on 7 October.
The crossing has been open and shut frequently over the years. Why is it so contentious for Egypt? And where does Egypt stand in the Israel-Palestinian conflict?
The BBC's Amal Saeed in Cairo explains.

Israeli forces take control of Rafah crossing
The Rafah border crossing in Gaza has been closed on the Palestinian side, due to the presence of Israeli tanks, according to the border authority.
Israeli tanks are now blocking the main artery bringing humanitarian aid into the strip - parts of which are already experiencing 'full-blown famine.'
That comes after a night of heavy Israeli bombardment in Rafah, in southern Gaza.
At least 14 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes, in the past few hours.
The attacks follow a unanimous vote by the Israeli war cabinet, to continue its operation in the city - and comes despite Hamas' announcement that it's ready to accept a ceasefire deal.

The situation in Gaza’s Rafah is increasingly dire as over 1.4 million Palestinians — 1 million of whom are displaced after fleeing Israel’s attacks on other parts of the besieged enclave — are now trapped in Gaza’s southernmost city and left with essentially nowhere to go.
As Israel seizes the Rafah border crossing with Egypt — a vital lifeline for life-saving aid — and ramps up attacks on Gaza’s south, the humanitarian crisis is turning catastrophic and Israeli strikes targeting residential areas in Rafah are resulting in significant civilian casualties, including women and children, as reported by the UN.

At least 14 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes, in the past few hours.
The attacks follow a unanimous vote by the Israeli war cabinet, to continue its operation in the city - and comes despite Hamas' announcement that it's ready to accept a ceasefire deal.

#IsraelHamasWar #Rafah #Gaza
The situation in Gaza’s Rafah is increasingly dire as over 1.4 million Palestinians — 1 million of whom are displaced after fleeing Israel’s attacks on other parts of the besieged enclave — are now trapped in Gaza’s southernmost city and left with essentially nowhere to go.
As Israel seizes the Rafah border crossing with Egypt — a vital lifeline for life-saving aid — and ramps up attacks on Gaza’s south, the humanitarian crisis is turning catastrophic and Israeli strikes targeting residential areas in Rafah are resulting in significant civilian casualties, including women and children, as reported by the UN.

The Rafah Border Crossing (Arabic:معبر رفحMa`bar Rafaḥ, Hebrew:מעבר רפיח) or Rafah Crossing Point is the sole crossing point between Egypt and Gaza and between Egypt and the State of Palestine. It is located on the Gaza–Egypt border, which was recognized by the 1979 Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty. The original crossing point was named Rafah land port. Only passage of persons takes place through the Rafah Border Crossing. All traffic of goods is diverted to the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
The gates
The Rafah land port became the primary border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, managed by the Israel Airports Authority until Israel had dismantled its settlements in Gaza on 11 September 2005 as part of a disengagement plan. It subsequently became the task of the European Union Border Assistance Mission Rafah (EUBAM) to monitor the crossing. The Rafah land port, known as the "Salah al Din Gate" is located at the original Rafah crossing on the Salah al-Din Road, the main highway of Gaza from Erez to Rafah. Rafah land port was bombed by Israel in October 2009 allegedly to destroy tunnels.
