Oddly the BBC do manage at the end of this piece to mention that:
'...Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak ordered the border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip to be opened.Strange that Egypt has closed its border with Gaza but escapes BBC and world condemnation whereas Israel has no such escape; why the double standard?
The Rafah crossing has been closed since 2007, although special medical cases are occasionally allowed through.'
Rafah has only been closed on the surface - it is the main underground tunnels route into Gaza, with Egypt pretending not to know about it.
