Rafah crossing remains open to allow humanitarian relief, wounded Palestinians

CAIRO - 30 June 2020: Egyptian authorities kept the Rafah border crossing open Monday to receive wounded and stranded Palestinians and allow humanitarian relief assistance into the Gaza Strip. On May 7, clashes began between Israeli forces in the West Bank and Jerusalem and civilians as the latter were protesting forced displacement, particularly from Sheikh Jarrah in Eastern Jerusalem, and assaults on worshippers in Al Aqsa Mosque. And, on May 10-20, Israel shelled and carried out airstrikes against Gaza Strip.
