Egypt to Re-Open Rafah Crossing on Tuesday and Wednesday

CAIRO, May 24, 2015 (WAFA) - After a closure that lasted for weeks, the Egyptian authorities announced that it will reopen Rafah crossing on Tuesday and Wednesday to allow Palestinians stranded in Egypt to enter the Gaza Strip.

The Middle East News Agency (MENA) said Egypt will also allow the entry of humanitarian cases and aid through the crossing terminal.

The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been the main connection between Gaza's 1.8 million residents and the outside world since the imposition of the Israeli blockade on the strip in 2007.
