Rafah crossing opened temporarily for patients only

Gaza, August 06, SPA -- Rafah Border Crossing was opened temporarily
to enable patients in Gaza Strip to seek medical treatment in
Egyptian Hospitals.


The Palestinian security sources confirmed this morning that 28
patients from the Gaza Strip were permitted to go to the Egyptian
territories for medical treatment.


The sources added that they are not sure whether this procedure
will continue every day to enable hundreds of patients with critical
conditions to receive medical treatment abroad, or does it hold for
one day only.
