The crossing at the Egyptian border, does not serve 1.4 million people, the *only*
crossing that serves, that meets the needs of, 1.4 million people, is Karni. Have you
not understood that? How many times has that *fact* been mentioned, how many times has
that been explained? The only existing crossing for the export & import of goods serving
Gaza's 1.4 million people, is Karni.
