PIC - Two American congressmen Brian Bird and Nick Bilono, both Democrats, arrived in Gaza Strip on Sunday, the crossings and border authority said in a statement.
It added that a delegation of the UN in Gaza received the congressmen at the Rafah border terminal.
Bird said in a terse statement that his visit to Gaza is the third of its kind, noting that on the two previous occasions he entered through the Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing in northern Gaza.
He added that the visit's itinerary includes touring hospitals, schools and other areas destroyed in the Israeli war on Gaza in a bid to have a close look on conditions of the Palestinian people in the Strip.
