Palestinian American Jason Shawa, 55, heard the news that Rafah crossing, on Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, will be opened Monday, giving him hope of possible escape from the war. But it was fleeting, as airstrikes rained down on Gaza, and he confronted the uncertainty of whether he, his wife, Najla, and their two daughters would be able to flee.

There are two parts to the land crossing — first, a security check manned by the Palestinian authority and then a bus ride to the Egyptian-controlled part of the border. She said usually the Egyptian side is “chaotic” with long wait times. “If anything goes wrong from point A to point B they will turn the buses around and turn everyone back without any notice,” she said of her previous experiences crossing the border.
