The Rafah Border Crossing, the gateway between Gaza and Egypt, was closed today for the weekend but will reopen and resume its work on Saturday, according to a border source. The crossing will be open to students, those with medical referrals, those with residential permits and those carrying foreign passports only, said the Ministry of Interior. Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior Kamel Abu Madi denied any enhancement of the services provided at the Rafah crossing, particularly denying the rumor that the two-month limit on stays for those crossing into Egypt had been extended.
