In a breaking update, Cairo News Channel reported that Rafah Crossing has received detainees from Gaza in preparation for their transfer to the Israeli side. The development comes as the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza took effect on Friday, under the auspices of Egyptian, Qatari, and American mediation.

The ceasefire follows an Israeli offensive that has persisted since October 7th, resulting in the tragic loss of over 15,000 lives, including 6,150 children, and more than 4,000 women, with over 36,000 sustaining injuries.

The ceasefire, with an initial duration of four days extendable upon agreement, encompasses the release of several detainees, including children, from Israeli occupation prisons. Additionally, it involves the delivery of humanitarian aid and fuel supplies.

The move is a significant step towards de-escalation and relief for the beleaguered population in Gaza. Rafah Crossing's readiness to facilitate the transfer of detainees marks a key development in the implementation of the ceasefire terms.
