A: Hey Hana-chan! Did you hear the news about Gaza?

B: Oh, no! What’s going on? Tell me!

A: The Rafah border crossing is open again! Between Gaza and Egypt.

B: Really? That’s great news! Was it closed?

A: Yeah, it was closed because of the fighting. Israel closed it.

B: Oh, I see. So, who can go through now?

A: Well, right now, only sick and injured Palestinians can leave. And people helping them.

B: That’s… a start, I guess. How many people, do you think, will be able to cross?

A: Apparently, around 150 to 200 people each day.

B: Wow, that’s not a huge number. But still, better than nothing, right?

A: Exactly! People in Gaza really need medical help. They’re running out of medicine. Like, 20,000 people need treatment.

B: That's terrible! Is anything else going through? Like food?

A: That’s the problem! The UN wants Israel to let supplies through too. Not just people.

B: Makes sense. They need everything!

A: Everyone’s hoping it will help the situation there. We’ll see how it goes!
