1. Elderly people who have sixty years old
2.People who have lost sight completely.
3. A person having a residence forty years in Egypt .
4. Owners of residences threatened to loss it join the unemployment queues that accumulate in the Gaza Strip.
5. Students approached to dismiss from their universities .
6. Patients who suffered a lot and prevented to enter Israel for security reasons
It is curious that the patient goes with his compeer to be allowed to enter the compeer and let patient returned in addition to the large numbers of Gaza strip people , who wedged at the airports of world , and they are Waiting the permission to return via the airport of Cairo , where they did not allow for them until now .
According to that and according to what we expect of your honesty and sincerity for your nation and People , we asked you the following :
1. Open the Rafah crossing in both directions without delay.
2. To allow the citizens travel with out obstacles except the criminal cases that are agreed by two parties
3. Cancel the statements state security or intelligence that people are returned according to it .
4. Facilitate the entry of goods into the Gaza Strip from the Egyptian side.
5. Allowing for wedged citizens abroad to return immediately.
