Rafah Border Opened

Palestinians are now able to leave Egypt, after two weeks, and make their way home to Gaza. The border has been opened on one side, with Palestinians still under heavry restriction when seeking to enter Egypt. Normally the border is open to those that require medical attention, hold a foreign passport or are studying abroad. There is hope on the Palestinian side that the chnage in Egypt will bring a more open crossing at Rafah.
