@floodingthesea9366 I read this a few days ago 9. Feb 2021 :
Egypt on Tuesday opened its border crossing with the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip, "indefinitely" allowing the coastal strip's people passage to the outside world, a security source said.
Gaza residents crossing the Rafah border point on Tuesday expressed a mixture of relief and bitterness.
"I've been waiting for six months for the crossing to open," university student Ibrahim al-Shanti, 19, told AFP.
"The repeated closures have cost me a semester of my studies. I hope it's really permanent."
Cairo took the step while hosting talks between Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, and Fatah, which runs the Palestinian Authority in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The rival movements, along with other Palestinian factions, are discussing holding parliamentary and presidential votes later this year, their first in 15 years.
