RAFAH (PIC)– The Egyptian authorities opened the Rafah border crossing between Sinai and Gaza Strip only partially on Sunday morning.
Maher Abu Sabha the director of crossings told the PIC reporter that the Egyptian authorities opened the crossing at 11.00 am local time and said it would remain open until 03.00 pm.
He said that the Egyptian authorities said that the crossing would be open in both directions but would only allow holders of foreign residences and sick people to enter Egypt from Gaza.
The Egyptian authorities had suddenly opened the crossing on Saturday nearly at the same time and said that only one busload of passengers would be allowed to cross then backtracked on its decision at the pretext the computers went out of order.
