Gaza, ALRAY – The Egyptian authorities have been closing the Rafah crossing in both directions for the second day in a row.
The crossing opened part-time for three consecutive days exceptionally before being closed again on Thursday, November 21.
An official of Border Crossings Administration in Gaza told ALRAY “we’ve not been informed so far about when any potential opening could be,”
Only three buses [50 each] of passengers have been allowed in Egypt Thursday, he added.
After the July coup against President Mohamed Morsi, Egypt’s army has repeatedly shut down the Rafah crossing and destroyed hundreds of Gaza tunnels into Egypt, used for the entry of basic needs life fuel and building materials.
Robert Turner, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, who has recently visited Gaza along with James Rawley, the UN’s humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, warned of the worsened humanitarian situation there.
“The closures of the tunnels has led to a near total collapse of private sector constructions, as it compounded the constraints due to the pre-existing ban on construction materials from Israel for the private sector,” said the UNRWA chief.
Oxfam had said Gazans were still “trapped under the Israeli blockade and largely cut off from the outside world” despite the ceasefire meant to allow the movement of people and goods in and out of the enclave.
“Exports allowed out of Gaza have dropped by half since 2012 and Palestinian fishermen and farmers continue to be prevented from accessing the most productive areas,” the British charity said in a statement.
The Gaza Strip has been under a severe economic blockade imposed by Israel since 2006.

Martyred By Israeli Occupation Attacks
انّا للہ و انّا الیه راجعون
May Allah Subhana wa Ta’ ala grant the Shuhada Jannatul Firdaus, and ease it for their families, loved ones and anyone around them. Allahumma Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen. ‘ Inna Lillahi wa ‘ Inna ‘ Ilayhi Raji’un, Allahu Akbar

* 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. For this report displays a avoidable morality of at least 0,5 million Palestinians.
How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all.
