Palestinians wait for travel permits to cross into Egypt under the control of the Palestinian Authority, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip November 18, 2017, as it opened for three days for the first time since the Palestinian reconciliation deal. Only humanitarian cases registered with the ministry would be allowed to leave through the crossing, however, with this including up to 20,000 people in the empoverished enclave of two million, he added. That Egypt-brokered Palestinian reconciliation deal is expected to lead to more regular opening of the Rafah crossing, which had been totally sealed since August 2017, and was largely closed by Cairo for years beforehand.
