The Rafah crossing reopens between Gaza and Egypt. Are enough Palestinians in urgent need of medical treatment able to use it? We hear from the family of one injured boy. Also on the programme: the detention of a five-year-old in an immigration raid in Minnesota enrages a judge; and why seeing the iconic Trevi Fountain in Rome is now going to cost you.

  • Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.

  • The key link between Gaza and the outside world opened on Monday,

  • having been mostly shut since May 2024.

  • The reopening was supposed to happen during the first phase of President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas,

  • which began in October.

  • But Israel blocked it until the return of the body of the last Israeli hostage in Gaza,

  • which happened last week.

  • The Israeli military organisation which controls the Rafah crossing says it's for now only for those on foot,

  • except for ambulances from Egypt, allowed to evacuate Palestinians in need of medical treatment.
