Egyptian authorities have opened one way of Rafah crossing border exceptionally, to allow 500 Palestinian pilgrims to enter Gaza, Almasry Alyoum reported Wednesday. Authorities affirmed that they will secure the trip of pilgrims from Cairo airport to the crossing border, and get them into Gaza after finishing the procedures. The border had been shut since the deadly attack against Egyptian soldiers in October 2014, but Egypt re-opens it from time to time for humanitarian cases to pass.
