Zionist Egyptian regime opened Rafah crossing for three days this year

The Palestinian ministry of interior in Gaza has said that the Rafah border crossing has been closed for three successive months during the current year, amid a rapid increase in the number of citizens who are in dire need for travel.

“The Rafah border crossing has been closed for the 68th day in a row, amid a severe humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,” spokesman for the ministry Iyad al-Bazem stated on Friday.

Bazem affirmed that the Egyptian authorities had opened the crossing only for three days during the current year, 2016, with no regard to all appeals for opening it regularly.
