About 9,000 Palestinians marched to the Rafah crossing on Friday to protest the prolonged closure, which has sharply deepened the privation in the already impoverished coastal territory. Demonstrators pushed at a gate separating the two countries and threw rocks toward Egypt, but were repelled by Hamas police./p
