Palestinian officials say Egypt has temporarily opened its sealed border crossing with the Gaza Strip.
The crossing is to remain open until late Sunday. Hamas security forces say they have taken measures to prevent the flow of tens of thousands of Palestinians to the crossing by setting up checkpoints. Only sick people and stranded residents of foreign countries are to be let through. The Rafah crossing was completely closed last year when Hamas routed the security forces of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and ousted his Fatah movement.
