Rafah border crossing remained opened on Wednesday on both sides in accordance with directives of the political leadership.
The move will facilitate the much needed passage of Palestinians to and from the Gaza Strip as well as the entry of humanitarian aid and reconstruction equipment and materials into Gaza.
Administrative and technical staff are on hand to facilitate the Palestinian brothers and speed up the completion of transit procedures and the entry of relief aid and reconstruction materials into the Gaza Strip. Preparations are in place to receive humanitarian cases and to enter any aid into the Gaza Strip at any time, official sources say.
Egypt has exceptionally opened the crossing since May 16 to enable people stranded on both sides to cross and to deliver aid to Gaza residents.
The crossing has been opened according to directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi. This comes within the framework of the Egyptian efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian citizen in the strip, restore the normal life of people in Gaza and start the reconstruction process.
