‘This is humiliation’: Palestinians say process at Rafah crossing should be eased

‘This is humiliation’: Palestinians say process at Rafah crossing should be eased https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/a7acd6fb-d20c-4a93-81fe-1094e29bc33d Palestinians in Gaza City say Israeli restrictions on passage through the newly reopened Rafah border crossing should be eased and more people should be allowed to travel. “The Israeli procedures are really difficult; you claim security reasons, what security reasons for the ill? Searching the ill, searching their families, this is humiliation for people, this obstructs the movement of those returning,” said one resident. Although Israel reopened on Monday the Rafah crossing to a trickle of Palestinians for the first time in months, strict Israeli security checks have slowed the process. The Rafah crossing, standing amidst rubble and ruins, is the sole route in or out for nearly all of Gaza's more than two million residents. Support stories that matter.
