For most of this war, there has been one way out of Gaza: The Rafah border crossing into Egypt. In a process that predates October of last year, all evacuees must have a security clearance from both Israeli and Egyptian authorities to depart the Gaza Strip. As The World’s Durrie Bouscaren reports, only a small portion of children wounded in the war were permitted to leave Gaza before the Israeli military took over the crossing on May 7, and stopped evacuations entirely.
