Days of Palestine, Gaza Strip –Palestinian ministry of health has said that hundreds of critical patients are paying high price for closure of Rafah Crossing.
In a statement, the ministry explained that the closure of the Rafah Crossing has prevented hundreds of patients from travelling abroad to access urgent medical treatment.
The statement called on Egypt to open the crossing for all victims suffering from medical conditions as well as to meet the health and humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip.
Generally, the Egyptian authorities have allowed the Rafah Crossing to be partially open for selected humanitarian cases ever since the recent Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
However, for the fifth day in a row now, the Egyptian authorities have kept the crossing completely closed in response to the recent attack against Egyptian security forces in Sinai.
According to the director of crossings in Gaza, Maher Abu Sabha, the Egyptian side has informed them that the crossing will be closed until further notice.
