Palestinians wait for travel permits to cross into Egypt through the Rafah border crossing in Rafah in the southern of Gaza Strip, on August 12, 2020. For the first time in five months, Egypt on Tuesday reopened Rafah crossing point on the borders with southern Gaza Strip for three days to allow hundreds of stranded Palestinian travelers to cross. Egypt completely closed the border crossing point in mid-March as part of the tight precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Photo by Ashraf Amra
