Happy dash for border freedom 28nov05 PALESTINIANS were yesterday queuing for their first taste of freedom in years as they took control of the Gaza/Egypt border. Travellers embraced and flashed victory signs, happy to be freer to travel and to be processed by Palestinian police rather than Israeli soldiers who occupied the Gaza Strip for 38 years before withdrawing in September. "I feel free and happy as a bird with 10 wings," said Jihad Zanoun, 29, the first Palestinian to have his passport stamped at the Rafah terminal. The deal brokered by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to reopen Gaza, provides a crucial lifeline to its people and economy. Some Palestinians slept at Rafah terminal for days waiting to cross. A European Union official said 1587 people crossed the Gaza-Egyptian border at Rafah yesterday. Officials hope to process 400 people a day. The crossing had been largely shut since Israel left coastal Gaza. Israeli officials, looking out for suspected militants or any attempts to smuggle weapons, watch the crossing with Palestinians on video at a nearby monitoring station. heraldsun.news.com.au
