Patients in Gaza are facing uncertainty as Israel reopens the Rafah crossing for a 'pilot reopening' period, despite previous closures and restrictions that have severely limited access to medical care and essential supplies for Gazans. The temporary opening is seen as a lifeline for patients who require urgent medical attention. However, the move has raised concerns about the duration of the reopening and its potential impact on the already fragile healthcare system in Gaza. Patients are anxiously awaiting news on whether they will be able to access necessary treatment during this limited period.
