Egypt closes border with the Gaza Strip

Egypt closed the Rafah crossing with Gaza on Thursday, after having opened it to allow for the flow of wounded and humanitarian aid in recent weeks.

 

"The border is closed since this morning," said a senior border official, adding that Palestinians wounded during the IDF's operation and being treated in Egypt would be allowed to return home. But "no humanitarian delegation, medical staff or media will be allowed to enter," he said. (AFP)
