The Rafah terminal on the Egyptian borders with the Gaza Strip was exceptionally reopened on Thursday on both directions.

A reliable source at the terminal said the terminal will remain open until Friday.

The crossing is opened exceptionally to allow the crossing of stranded Palestinians, humanitarian cases and relief assistance to the coastal enclave.

The land crossing has been closed since the terrorist attack against Egyptian servicemen in Karam Al Qwadees on October 24, 2014.
