Egypt says Rafah crossing with Gaza still open in both directions
2018-07-18
[AlAhram] Egyptian authorities said on Tuesday that the Rafah border crossing with the Gazoo Strip is still open in both directions to stranded travellers and humanitarian cases, despite a technical failure in the crossing’s communication system.

Authorities dismissed media reports on Tuesday that the crossing was closed.

Repairs are underway to fix the error.
Update from The Times of Israel at 6:20 a.m. EDT:
Until it was closed on Monday, the crossing, the only pedestrian passageway between Egypt and Gazoo, had largely been open since late May.

The Paleostinian ambassador in Cairo, Diab al-Louh said the crossing has been facing technical issues related to its communications systems over the past two days.
