At the request of Israel and the Palestinians and with the agreement of Egypt, EUBAM Rafah is redeploying at the Rafah Crossing Point in Gaza.
In the coming days, EUBAM Rafah will deploy a specialised team to the Rafah Crossing Point to allow Palestinian personnel to reopen the RCP. This will allow for the transfer of injured individuals out of Gaza for medical treatment. EUBAM Rafah personnel will monitor the transfers.
Under the terms agreed with the parties, the period of deployment of the EUBAM Rafah specialised team at the RCP will last until the end of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. During this period it is expected that at least several hundred persons will leave Gaza.
