Rafah crossing

A Palestinian girl, hoping to cross into Egypt with her family, looks out of a bus window at the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the southern Gaza Strip, Dec. 21, 2014. Egypt temporarily reopened the Rafah border crossing on Sunday allowing Palestinians from Gaza Strip to travel in and out for the first time since it was closed on Oct. 25, officials in Gaza said. Egypt closed Rafah crossing following a series of deadly attacks carried out by radical Islamic militants in Sinai. After the attacks, the Egyptian army carried out the largest ever security campaign in Sinai.
