RAFAH, GAZA - JUNE 13: Palestinians wait for a permit to cross the border into Egypt at the southern Gaza Rafah Crossing on June 13, 2015 in Rafah, Gaza. The Egyptian authorities opened the Rafah border crossing today for three days. The crossing has only been open for short periods since Islamist militants in Egypt's Sinai region killed members of its security forces. Rafah is the only non Israeli crossing allowing Palestinians into the outside world. Many people visiting Gaza before the 2014 war became trapped after the crossing was closed and are now queueing at the border to get home. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
