RAFAH, June 29, 2018 (WAFA) – Egyptian authorities announced on Thursday evening that they will be closing the Rafah border crossing, the only gate of Gaza to the outside world, for three days starting from Friday evening, according to WAFA correspondent.
This is the first time the border crossing is closed and in both directions since it was reopened at the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The crossing is the only land outlet to the outside world for the two million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. Egyptian authorities have almost completely closed the crossing since July 2013 citing “security” reasons in Sinai Peninsula.
