Egypt to allow Palestinians to cross during dire crisis:

Topic started by zeemax on Jan 23, 2008 7:22:51 am



At least 50,000 people, according to the ministry, have poured from Gaza into Egypt to buy food and fuel after Palestinians blew holes in the border wall.



Egypt "is opening up its arms to its brethren on the Palestinian side," ministry spokesman Hassam Zaki told CNN. "As long as this is a humanitarian crisis, they're going to be able to cross to get their needs. We are not opening the Rafah crossing just for everybody to cross -- we're opening it because it's a very dire humanitarian situation."

The exodus followed Israel's closing of its Gaza border crossings Friday to punish Gaza's Hamas leadership after days of rocket attacks on southern Israel.




Egyptian guards did not intervene as wave after wave of men -- cheered on by children chanting "God is great" -- washed over fences along the border and into Egypt. They left on foot, in cars and atop donkey carts.

But I don't think it was the Palestinians who blew that wall. It was the Egyptians! :)

Pls ignore this. The images didn't appear because of hot-linking restrictions by major news sites.
