Egypt has pressed ahead with efforts to repair sections of its border with Gaza which were destroyed by Palestinian militants a week ago.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been crossing freely into Egypt to buy essential supplies.
Barbed wire has been put in place to seal some of the breaches and riot police have been deployed.
Cairo has said it wants to work with the Palestinian Authority to agree on control of the crossing.
Palestinians were continuing to cross into Egypt on Tuesday but correspondents said that the numbers appeared to be falling.
Hamas security guards have been preventing some cars from crossing from Gaza, while Palestinians who had crossed were being sent back by Egyptian security services.
