March 10, 2007

Gaza - Ma'an – A reliable source at Rafah crossing said that the total number of Palestinians crossing in both directions on Saturday was 1,087. He said that 591 were entering the Gaza Strip and 496 were exiting into Egypt. 250 were prevented from crossing into Gaza because the crossing was closed before they were able to pass.

The source said that the Egyptians are making tremendous efforts to reopen the crossing.

On the other hand, six trucks entered the Gaza Strip carrying 210 tonnes of flour; the flour was from the World Food Programme.
