Egypt to open Rafah border crossing two days for humanitarian cases
Egyptian authorities will open the Rafah border crossing with Gazoo for two days to allow for the passage of stranded individuals and facilitate humanitarian aid, an Egyptian official at the border told MENA. The crossing will be opened for Thursday and Friday. It is not yet clear whether the crossing will be opened on one side or will allow for the passage of traffic in both directions. The last time the border was opened was in mid October, when authorities partially opened the crossing to allow Paleostinian Muslim pilgrims to return to their homes from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... Egyptian authorities have, for the most part, kept the Rafah crossing closed since October 2014 following attacks by Islamist holy warriors in North Sinai, which left over 30 security personnel dead. Egypt has on occasion opened the crossing for three-day periods, on average, allowing those in need of medical care to travel to Egypt and permitting other Paleostinians to travel in either direction. Cairo has accused the Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, the de facto ruler of the Israeli-besieged Gazoo Strip, of aiding krazed killer groups in North Sinai. Hamas has repeatedly denied the accusations. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-12-03 |
