Media rights group Reporters Without Borders urged Israeli and Egyptian authorities on Thursday to allow journalists to move freely across the Gaza Strip’s southern border crossing into Egypt. The Rafah crossing was shut after Israel declared war on Hamas militants in Gaza on October 7. While it has intermittently opened in recent weeks, only people whose names were on approved lists have been allowed out.
