EU officials work to monitor and expand aid access through Gaza's Rafah crossing

European Union officials are focused on the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. An EU mission is there to monitor the crossing's operations, which recently reopened, and EU diplomats are meeting with international officials to discuss Gaza's future.

EU officials say the reopening is a positive step but that the process is slow and frustrating for people trying to cross. They are urging for expanded access to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.
