The Rafah border crossing was opened for three days

A picture taken on November 18, 2017 shows Palestinian children sleeping in a stroller and on the ground as they wait in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, prior to be cleared for travel through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, after it opened for three days for the first time since the Palestinian reconciliation deal. Only humanitarian cases registered with the Palestinian Interior ministry would be allowed to leave through the crossing, however, with this including up to 20,000 people in the empoverished enclave of two million. That Egypt-brokered Palestinian reconciliation deal is expected to lead to more regular opening of the Rafah crossing, which had been totally sealed since August 2017, and was largely closed by Cairo for years beforehand.
