Why is Rafah crossing tightly controlled? BBC Africa

Описание к видео Why is Rafah crossing tightly controlled? BBC Africa

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened on Wednesday to allow a number of seriously injured people and foreign nationals to leave Gaza for the first time since the war began on 7 October.

The crossing has been open and shut frequently over the years. Why is it so contentious for Egypt? And where does Egypt stand in the Israel-Palestinian conflict?

The BBC's Amal Saeed in Cairo explains.
