RAFAH, (PIC)-- The Egyptian authorities on Tuesday opened the Rafah border crossing with Gaza Strip in both directions after three weeks of closure but to a limited number of people.
A Palestinian source said that the Egyptian authorities allowed only 300 passengers daily to cross the terminal, noting that the crossing was closed following the outbreak of the Egyptian revolution that ousted former president Hosni Mubarak.
He underlined that travel will be allowed only for patients, students, those with residence permits in Egypt, and holders of visit visas to other countries.
He noted that 3,000 Palestinians wishing to travel had registered with the borders authority over the past few days.
