RAFAH (PIC)– Egyptian authorities said the Rafah border crossing with Gaza Strip would open on Tuesday for three days after ten days of closure for the travel of passengers who have humanitarian conditions.
Maher Abu Sabha the director of crossings and borders at the Gaza interior ministry said that the Egyptians informed his department that the crossing would work from 0900 am to 0300 pm (local time) during those three days.
The Egyptian authorities have repeatedly closed the border terminal since the ouster of Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi in early July and opened it only for few days for a limited period of time and for certain categories.
The repeated closure of the crossing exacerbated the suffering of the Gaza inhabitants who have been under siege for seven years.
