Palestinian women chant slogans during a rally calling on Egyptian authorities to open the Rafah border crossing, outside the crossing in the southern Gaza Strip
Palestinian women chant slogans during a rally calling on Egyptian authorities to open the Rafah border crossing, outside the crossing in the southern Gaza Strip September 17, 2013. Cairo closed the Rafah crossing, Gaza's main window to the world, completely last week after assailants crashed two explosive-laden cars into a security building adjacent to the border zone, killing six Egyptian soldiers. Ashraf al-Qidra, spokesman for the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, said 1,000 patients a month required medical care in Egypt and in other countries. Rafah's closure, he said, would also affect the import of medication and prevent foreign doctors from visiting Gaza. REUTERS/Mohammed Salem (GAZA - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST)
