The Rafah border crossing between the blockaded Gaza Strip and Egypt has been closed for nearly two months, stranding thousands of Palestinians on both sides of the terminal. The restrictions that began following the ouster of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi were intensified following a terror attack in the Sinai Peninsula last October. Press TV correspondent Ashraf Shannon reports from the besieged Palestinian enclave.
