The Gaza Strip's main gateway, the Rafah crossing won't reopen until Saturday, and then for just four hours a day, the head of the European Union's border monitoring mission said Thursday. The Gaza-Egypt border crossing at Rafah, which Israel shut down shortly before evacuating Gaza in September, was scheduled to reopen Friday to 24-hour traffic. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
