Rafah Crossing July 10 2007
The Palestinians awaiting on the Egyptian side of the border are running out of money and are close to despair.The children are screaming, because of the heat and the hunger, hundreds of sick and old people are suffering from pain.There is nothing left to eat - there is no where to rest or sleep. Some people try to return to Cairo to wait for the Rafah crossing to be reopened.
Why are the Egyptians closing the borders for six thousand Palestinians which have to cross the Rafah Crossing, in order to be able to return home to Gaza Strip. Why does the Egyptians conduct this illegal measures in violation of international human right laws - causing death and suffering to its neighbors, the Gaza Strip Palestinians.
Egypt is a sovereign state and does not have to take orders from Israel - United States - or the " emergency government" in Ramalla - traitors collaborating with the enemy - Israel and its occupation forces ! It is a criminal intent - it is a crime unfolding in front of our eyes - who are the criminals awaiting for the Palestinians to die at the Rafah Crossing ?
