Egyptian security officials entered the besieged Gaza Strip on Sunday to follow up on the progress of national reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah. Egypt which brokered the reconciliation agreement signed on 12 October last year also dispatched the security delegation to follow up the handover of the enclave’s institutions to the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority.
The delegations held several meetings and discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza the reconciliation and border security among other alarming issues.
