| Egypt to reopen GazaÂ’s Rafah crossing |
| 2011-02-20 |
| 20 February 2011 -- Egypt has decided to reopen the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip, which was closed in the face of protests that ousted president Hosni Mubarak, a Hamas official said on Sunday. “The crossing will reopen from Tuesday for 300 passengers a day,” said Ghazi Hammad, head of the borders department in the Hamas’s administration in the territory. The Rafah crossing, the only one into Gaza that is not controlled by Israel, has been closed since January 30. |
