 The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip was opened on Saturday morning temporarily ending a six month blockade for Egyptians stranded in the Gaza Strip since Egypt sealed the border with Gaza in February, media outlets reported on Saturday. Starting at 8:00am on Saturday morning, 6 buses carrying about 300 Egyptian citizens and residency holders waited to cross the border at Rafah. The crossing will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 8pm. 400 patients from the Gaza Strip who have transfer permissions will to Egyptian hospitals will leave through Rafah crossing for treatment abroad on Sunday, medical sources in Gaza reported. The crossing will allow Egyptians stranded in Gaza and the 400 Palestinians seeking treatment into Egypt, and will also allow Palestinians stranded in Egypt to return to Gaza. This Egyptian gesture comes as the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan nears, in order to end the plight of 300 Egyptians stranded in the Gaza Strip for the past seven months. |
