GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities closed the Rafah land crossing with the Gaza Strip on Wednesday due to a technical problem with computers at the terminal.
Gaza's Interior Ministry spokesman Islam Shahwan told Ma'an that Rafah was closed after only one bus carrying around 60 passengers had been allowed to cross.
Egyptian authorities did not inform Gazan authorities about the sudden closure, he added.
The Palestinian ambassador to Cairo, Barakat al-Farra, said Sunday that the crossing would open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
It had previously been closed for ten consecutive days. more
