There seems to be a flag flown over the Rafah crossing (which would formally
be then either al-Rafah Land Port or Rafah Logistics Zone, and I'm inclined
to believe it's the earlier judging from the purpose of its gates in
additional pictures available online. This flag is a white horizontal
background with what seems to be then the General Authority for al-Rafah Port
flag. The flag is a white horizontal background with the logo in the middle
in black lettering, the logo being old logo of the Ministry of Transport.
