In a step intended to end the Palestinian crisis, Egypt has opened its Rafah border to send 10 ambulances to bring the critically injured Palestinians to the Egyptian hospitals for immediate treatment.
In this regard, an Egyptian medical source revealed Sunday that Egypt has opened its Rafah border gate with Gaza to assist in treating Gaza's wounded citizens and also to voice its solidarity and support for Palestinian civilians who are still living in conflict situations.
The top official indicated: "The country exceptionally opened the Rafah crossing to allow 10 Egyptian ambulances into the Gaza Strip to transport wounded Palestinians... to be treated in Egypt."
Lately, Egyptian officials have called upon Israeli authorities to stop all actions that violate the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to provide protection to Palestinian civilians in East Jerusalem, including in the Sheikh Jarrah district.
It's worth noting that this specific border is usually closed during public holidays, including the recent Eid al-Fitr. This year, however, the government decided to suspend the Eid holidays were suspended for a group of health workers who were asked to report to the hospitals to help "Wounded Palestinians coming from the Gaza Strip".
