GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Egypt opened its border crossing with the Gaza Strip on Saturday in a goodwill gesture before the holy Muslim month of Ramadan begins Monday, officials said.

Palestinians who live abroad or are seeking medical treatment and Egyptians stuck in Gaza because of the sealed border gathered at dawn in a nearby sporting center, where Hamas police shipped them to the Rafah crossing in buses.

On the Egyptian side of the border, hundreds of Palestinians massed to cross back into Gaza after being shut out for months.
