Gaza.- Last night, Israel allowed the entry of 12 of the 50 Palestinians who were expected to cross into the Gaza Strip via the Rafah crossing, on the first day of the reopening of this passage that connects Gaza with Egypt, according to a source from the Gaza Ministry of Health speaking to EFE. After two years of blockade by Israel, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu authorised the reactivation of the crossing, although only for the transit of people from Gaza. It was anticipated that authorities would permit the return of a group of 50 Palestinians, mostly women and children who had left Gaza to receive medical care.
