Palestinians demand Egypt open Rafah border crossing

Hundreds of Palestinians, most of them students, took to the streets in the Gaza Strip to demand that the Egyptian government open the Rafah border crossing. The border with Egypt has been closed for several months, preventing students from attending their universities abroad. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said that the opening of Rafah crossing depends on the operation against the Salafi fighters in the Sinai and on whether Hamas hands over control of the border crossing to the Palestinian Authority. teleSUR
