ABSTRACT

The article reports on the desperation for food faced by thousands of Palestinians on the Egypt-Gaza border. People stormed into Egypt for food and supplies after a group of masked men destroyed a wall along the border. In early January 2008, Israel had cut off supply routes to Gaza to pressure Palestinian leaders into stopping the militant attacks. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has allowed to buy food as long as they are not carrying weapons, but said that they will have to go back.
