350 Palestinians deported to Gaza
From Times Wire Reports
Egypt has deported about 350 Palestinians rounded up in North Sinai over the last four days to the Gaza Strip, security sources said.
“The Salaheddin border gate was opened this evening and the Palestinians were transported in buses to the city of Rafah and then to Gaza,” one security source said.
The group is part of at least 3,000 Palestinians left inside Egypt after hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents crossed the border in January to seek relief from an Israeli blockade.
