Rafah crossing closed for three days consecutively

The Egyptian authorities continues the closure of the Rafah border crossing for the 3rd day consecutively. The Rafah border crossing is closed at both sides, and the Egyptians have not updated us with news that it will be opened soon, Maher Abu Sabha, chairman of the crossings committee, said. The Egyptian authorities closed the border crossing on Thursday. The crossing was opened partially for 15 days to ease the movement of students from and into the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of Palestinians were denied travel through it, though. The Egyptian authorities adopted the same measures of Mubarak regime since President Mohammed Morsi was ousted. Almost a thousand Palestinians were travelling everyday at the times of President Morsi
