Egypt to allow more Gaza passengers through Rafah

Maan News Agency | June 27, 2012

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — Egypt has agreed to increase the number of passengers passing through its Rafah crossing with the Gaza Strip to 1,000 per day, the Palestinian crossings director said Wednesday.

Maher Abu Sabha told Ma’an the terminal — the only entry and exit point for travelers from Gaza — currently has 500 registered passengers per day in July, but now has a quote for 500 more.

Palestinians are required to register in advance with the Gaza Ministry of Interior before travel via Egypt.

The Egyptian boost to the number of terminals comes as politicians and residents of the Gaza Strip expressed high hopes that the country’s newly elected Muslim Brotherhood president would work to ease the situation of Gaza, which is under an Israeli blockade.

Gaza’s ruling Hamas, an offshoot of the Brotherhood, hopes president-elect Muhammad Mursi will help end the party’s international isolation and ease Israel’s closure regime on the coastal enclave.

Crossings director Abu Sabha said he hopes Egypt will also increase the opening hours of the Rafah terminal, noting that other Egyptian borders are open for more than nine hours daily, whereas Rafah only opens for eight hours.

The expansion of passenger lists through Rafah coincides with an annual high frequency of travelers during the summer months.

* The list of shuhada does not display, the numerous victims of the zionist occupation which are undocumented by media. Nor it displays the victims of the “silent onslaught” due to restrictions of movement, ability to go to hospitals for treatment or life saving surgery, due to lack of medication because of the blockades and so on. For example: The Slow Motion Genocide by the Siege on Gaza only, killed 600 patients since Gaza got under Israeli Siege.

Neither does this list, display the avoidable mortality. A clear and statistical factual evidence, about the number of deaths due to indecent ruling by occupation forces. For even an occupier has obligations under International Laws, Geneva Convention and the Hague regulations, which it is neglecting. These circumstances, together with deliberate policies of the occupier to neglect and even deny every basic human right, severes avoidable mortality which is totally silenced by media or reporting organisations. While in the Holocaust, 1 on 6 Jewish people directly died of deliberate neglect, so if we believe the facts over 1 million due to avoidable mortality, neither should these same circumstances be ignores which are ongoing in Palestine.
