The Egyptian authorities opened the Rafah border crossing with Gaza Strip for the second consecutive day in both directions.
According to the border crossing authorities committee 386 passengers were able to pass through the crossing on Monday while 274 travellers who had been stranded at the Egyptian side of the crossing were able to cross into Gaza.
However 30 passengers were denied travel via the crossing for unknown reasons.
Egyptian authorities announced on Sunday that they would open the Rafah crossing for five consecutive days beginning Monday morning and ending Friday evening only for humanitarian cases students holders of Egyptian passports patients and visa holders.
Egypt has upheld an Israeli military blockade on the Gaza Strip for the majority of the past three years since the ousting of former President Muhammad Morsi in 2013 and the rise to power of President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi in Egypt.
While the Egyptian border has remained the main lifeline for Gazans to the outside world Egyptian authorities have slowly sealed off movement through the border since Morsi was toppled by the Egyptian army.
