Qatar urges the free entry of aid into Gaza and welcomes the partial reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the territory as a “step in the right direction.”

“Qatar affirms that the opening of the Rafah land border crossing in the southern Gaza Strip to the movement of Palestinians is a step in the right direction towards addressing the tragic situation of civilians,” the Gulf state’s foreign ministry says.

Qatar also “stressed the necessity for all parties to fully implement the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and to open the crossings to ensure the sustainable and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to the Strip.”
