We regularly raise the closure of the Egypt-Gaza border, and its impact on the population of Gaza, with the Egyptian government. Most recently, our Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Cairo raised this with the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 12 April. We encourage Egypt to be as flexible as possible with regard to their plans for the Rafah border crossing.
