Philadelphi Corridor information


The Philadelphi Route is located along the Egypt-Gaza border

The Philadelphi Corridor, also called Philadelphi Route or Saladin Axis (Arabic: محور صلاح الدين), is the Israeli code name for a narrow strip of land, 14 km (8.7 miles) in length, situated along the entirety of the border between Gaza Strip and Egypt.[1]

Following Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza-strip in 2005, the Philadelphi Accord with Egypt was concluded, which authorized Egypt to deploy 750 border guards along the route to patrol the border on Egypt's side. The Palestinian side of the border was controlled by the Palestinian Authority, until the 2007 takeover by Hamas.[2] The joint authority for the Rafah Border Crossing was transferred to the Palestinian Authority and Egypt for restricted passage by Palestinian ID card holders, and by others by exception.

One purpose of the Philadelphi Route was to prevent the movement of illegal materials (including weapons and ammunition) and people between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
