Egypt border restrictions leave 5,000 stranded in Gaza
A Gaza government official says only 14,000 Gaza residents have been able to cross into Egypt over the past three months, compared to 65,000 in the same period last year.
Maher Abu Sabha, the head of the Gaza Borders Authority, on Sunday urged Egypt to lift the border restrictions. He says at least 5,500 people are stranded in Gaza, including medical patients and students trying to return to universities abroad. (AP)
