GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza Strip will reopen Friday, a local official said Wednesday.
"The Egyptian side has informed us that the crossing would be open Friday in both directions," general director of the crossings in the Hamas' interior ministry Mahir Abu Sabha told Ma'an.
He added that only limited numbers of passengers will be leaving as priority will be given to students, holders of foreign passports, residents of other countries and patients.
The Gaza Strip is under an Israeli land and sea blockade, and Rafah, its sole border crossing not controlled by Israel, is the only one which opens regularly for passengers. more
