Rafah, 12/09/2005. The day after the final
withdrawal of Israeli troops, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip,
dozens of people cross the border, now under Palestinian-Egyptian
control. Some reach the Egyptian part while others enter the Gaza
Strip, making their way through gaps in the barbed wire or concrete
wall bordering the Philadelphia corridor, to visit their families
living on the other side of the border. To be able to cross this border
is one of the main targets of Palestinians. However, the frontier has
now been closed.
