Egyptian authorities continued opening of the border crossing of Rafah with Palestine in the third day in a raw o Wednesday, Youm7 reported.
President Abdel Fatah al Sisi on Sunday has ordered the Rafah border crossing with Gaza Strip to be opened Nov. 14-18 in both directions, Youm7 reported.
The border crossing will primarily be opened to allow for the passage of stranded individuals and facilitate humanitarian aid.
It will be opened for the passage of stranded Palestinian students on Nov.17-18.
The crossing was partially opened Sunday to allow the passage of a 120-member Palestinian business delegation into Egypt in order to take part in an economic conference currently held at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Ain Sokhna.
Egypt, which also shares border with Gaza, has been imposing restrictions on opening the crossing with Gaza after the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
