Horrors at Rafah Crossing: Palestinian Women Share Traumatic Journey Home to Gaza

Palestinian women recounted a harrowing experience as they passed through the Rafah border crossing on their way home to Gaza from Egypt, describing a journey of horror amid the war-torn territory's strict controls and limited entry points for women. The few allowed to enter Gaza were subjected to rigorous security checks and interrogations by Egyptian authorities before being escorted into the territory. Many reported feeling anxious and vulnerable during the process, which took several hours. The difficulties faced by Palestinian women in accessing their homeland highlight the challenges of humanitarian aid distribution in the region.
