Undersecretary of Interior Ministry and National Security, Mr. Kamel Abu Madi said: "It is unacceptable to continue the blockade of the Gaza Strip from any party whatsoever."

Abu Madi asked on Thursday evening, the Egyptian government to "open the Rafah crossing for the entry of goods into the Gaza Strip naturally without invoking any unacceptable excuses."

Palestinian claims to the Egyptian government and presidency have increased recently to open the Rafah crossing to the Palestinians who are trapped in the Gaza Strip permanently and continuously and without any restrictions.

Gazans are demanding to open the crossing constantly and around the clock like other crossings between Egypt and the neighboring countries, especially the Zionist occupation, such as crossing Taba and Nuweiba and Salloum.
