The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip remained open on both sides Tuesday upon directives by the political leadership.
The measure is meant to facilitate the crossing of stranded people and the entry of aid and construction materials into the Gaza Strip.
The authorities responsible for managing the terminal said administrative and technical staff is on hand to speed up the completion of transit procedures and the entry of relief aid and reconstruction materials into the Palestinian enclave.
The crossing has been operating exceptionally since May 16 to receive wounded Palestinians and humanitarian cases and allow the delivery of aid to the Strip, in addition to the movement of people on both sides.
