**Israel Reopens Gaza-Egypt Border After Two Years**

After nearly two years of complete closure, Israel announces it will reopen the Rafah pedestrian crossing between Gaza and Egypt starting Sunday—a critical lifeline for Palestinians trapped in the devastated enclave. The crossing, seized by Israeli forces in May 2024, remained shut even after ceasefire agreements took hold. This decision follows Israel's receipt of the final hostage's remains and comes amid staggering casualty figures: over 71,000 direct deaths confirmed by Gaza health authorities, numbers now accepted as broadly accurate even by Israeli security officials. While the Philadelphia corridor remains under military control, this reopening offers a glimmer of hope for families seeking passage, reunion, or simply survival after months of unimaginable devastation.
