Is Egypt preparing to welcome refugees from Gaza in the event of an offensive against Rafah?. The compound which should welcome Gazans fleeing the war will be surrounded by a large wall.
Egyptian authorities have denied the construction of a camp for Palestinian refugees in Sinai. For the Egyptians, supported by all Arab governments, it would be a new “ Nakba ” when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had fled after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. The fourteen kilometers of borders between Egypt and Gaza are defended by a double concrete wall six meters high and a no man's land five kilometers wide.
