Medical and administrative teams are stationed for facilitating the passage of the injured and their escorts to hospitals for treatment, said official sources at the crossing.

Egypt has exceptionally opened the crossing to enable people stranded on the two sides to cross and to deliver aid to Gaza residents, the sources added
