Israel set to reopen Rafah crossing; but how many Palestinians can leave or return to Gaza?

Israel reopens the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt after nearly two years on a trial basis to test security screening as thousands of sick and wounded Palestinians seek urgent medical care abroad.
In one of the bloodiest days since an October “ceasefire” took hold, at least 31 Palestinians – including six children – have been killed in multiple Israeli air raids on northern and southern Gaza.
