GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities on Thursday allowed the Rafah crossing to stay open for the second day in a row, officials said.
Crossing officials on the Palestinian side said that 553 people have left Gaza for Egypt through Rafah since Wednesday.
Egyptian authorities rejected entry to 30 people, without clarifying motives for doing so, the officials added.
The Rafah crossing has been the principal connection between Gaza's 1.7 million residents and the outside world since the imposition of an economic blockade by Israel beginning in 2007. more
