GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities shut down Rafah crossing for the second day in a row after opening it to traffic for two days.
Egyptian authorities closed off the crossing on Thursday evening after a few passengers were able to leave.
Thousands of Palestinians remain waiting for it to re-open so they can cross.
Hamas officials in Gaza explained that they are making calls with Egyptian officials in an effort to reopen it.
Earlier this month, Gaza government officials said that they were concerned about the closure of the crossing, accusing the Egyptian side of tightening the blockade on the Gaza Strip and worsening the humanitarian situation. more
