The Egyptian authorities continue the closure of Rafah border crossing for the fourth day consecutively

. The Egyptians decided, on Wednesday, to close the Rafah crossing suddenly, as the security situation deteriorated in Sinai in the aftermath of the operation that targeted the Egyptian intelligence office. Maher Abu Sabha, director of crossing Border, said that “the Egyptian side has not told us about the re-opening of Rafah crossing.” “The Rafah crossing has been closed for the fifth day consecutively,” said Abu Sabha. “We hope that we resume working within the next few hours.”
