847 Palestinian Umrah Performers Arrive in Egyptian land

Rafah, August 16, SPA -- As many as 847 Palestinian Umrah performers
arrived at Egyptian Land Crossing of Rafah last night from the Gaza
Strip.

In a statement today, an official source at the Crossing said
that the Crossing was opened on Saturday to receive Palestinian Umrah
performers from the Gaza Strip, following the approval of the
Egyptian authorities to allow the Palestinian Umrah performers to
travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia across Egypt and to return
after the end of Umrah rituals.
