CAIRO - 29 May 2020: Egyptian authorities on Saturday continued opening the Rafah border crossing for the 14th consecutive day to allow stranded Palestinians and humanitarian cases on both sides to cross the border terminal.
Medical and administrative teams are stationed for facilitating the passage of the injured to hospitals for treatment, said official sources at the crossing.
Egypt has exceptionally opened the crossing to enable people stranded on the two sides to cross and to deliver aid to Gaza residents, the sources added.
In May 7, Israeli forces in the West Bank and Jerusalem engaged in clashes with civilians who were protesting forced displacement, particularly from Sheikh Jarrah eastern Jerusalem, and assaults on worshippers in Al Aqsa Mosque.
The strikes caused the destruction of more than 200 residential units in Gaza Strip and 31 educational establishments, including schools, colleges, and vocational training centers. According to the United Nations, 40,000 Palestinians got displaced – mainly from the North to the South – while 2,500 lost their homes.
