Angelina Jolie Visits Egyptian Side of Rafah Crossing to Meet with Palestinian Refugees and Aid Workers

Angelina Jolie met aid workers and Palestinian patients at Rafah to highlight bottlenecks as thousands of aid trucks await entry, officials said.

  • On Jan. 2, 2026, Angelina Jolie visited the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing to inspect aid entering Gaza and see injured Palestinians, meeting Red Crescent volunteers, truck drivers, and an American delegation.
  • At Rafah, a Red Crescent volunteer said there are thousands of aid trucks just waiting, while the crossing remains closed despite ceasefire plans and ongoing blockade restrictions.
  • A longtime UN humanitarian figure, Jolie stepped down as United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees special envoy after more than 20 years, amid an overall Palestinian death toll of at least 71,271.
  • The Associated Press reported Jolie spoke with patients at Al-Arish hospital, while Egyptian officials and humanitarian coordinators discussed receiving the wounded and displaced.
  • The Rafah crossing's status matters because it is the only entry point from Egypt to the Gaza Strip, where much destruction underscores urgent aid needs, and Egypt and six other countries urged pressure on Israel to lift supply constraints.
