On Saturday, over 300 people used the Rafah crossing after Egypt reopened the terminal between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Egyptian director of the Rafah terminal Sami Mitwali told Ma’an that the crossing will be opened again on Monday. On Wednesday it will be opened for Muslim residents of the Gaza Strip going on pilgrimage to Mecca.
