Rafah border crossing was exceptionally opened on Saturday 16/12/2017 to allow the crossing of stranded people in both directions between Egypt and Gaza Strip.

A reliable source said that Egyptian authorities have agreed to open the crossing for four days to allow the crossing of stranded people, students and humanitarian cases as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Additional crews were provided in various bodies working on the Egyptian side of the coastal enclave to facilitate the entry of Palestinians in both directions, the source added.
