As Israel's offensive in Gaza moves south toward the Egypt-Gaza border, concerns grow and contingencies are considered for a potential refugee crisis (Axios, i24, US News & World Report). Opening its border for individualized circumstances (e.g., medical evacuations, employees of specific organizations, family members of particular persons) alone would not count. Allowing refugees to enter Egypt in order to continue on to a different location would count. An announcement alone without evidence that Palestinians have actually crossed into Egypt would not count, and allowing refugees from Gaza who entered Egypt without authorization to stay or go on to another location would not count.
