Palestinian children consume food and drink, as they wait to cross into Egypt at the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the southern Gaza Strip August 25, 2013. Egypt reopened its border crossing with the Gaza Strip on Saturday after four days of closure, allowing stranded passengers to cross in and out of the Palestinian territory. Thousands of Palestinians, including students and patients seeking medical treatment, had been unable to travel to Egypt since the Rafah border crossing was shut and hundreds wanting to return home had been stranded outside the Gaza Strip.
