Egypt to reopen Rafah crossing to Gaza Sunday

Egypt is to reopen the Rafah border crossing with Gaza Sunday for the second time in two months to allow those stranded in Egypt enter the Palestinian territory, officials said.

 

"Egypt will open the Rafah crossing Sunday and Monday to allow those stranded on the Egyptian side to go to Gaza," police official Ali al-Azazi told AFP.

 

More than 3,500 Palestinians were stranded when Egypt closed the crossing after a suicide attack killed 30 soldiers in North Sinai on October 24, the United Nations said last month. It was not immediately clear how many of them are still stranded.
