CAIRO (Ma’an) -- Palestinian embassy officials in Cairo released numbers from the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt Monday evening, which showed a steady number of passengers traveling in and out of the border terminal.
The most recent number hovered at just under 300 travelers, with 224 recorded leaving Gaza, and 75 entering via the crossing.
Amid accusations that crossings restrictions were increasing, with more Gaza residents than ever being told they were on a "blacklist" and being denied entry into Egypt, officials said similar crossings numbers were expected for the coming weeks.
Rafah terminal will be open, the statement said, from Sunday to Thursday, and closed on holidays.
