Egypt has set up a logistics zone on the border with Gaza to facilitate aid flows

The Egyptian military has established a logistics zone in the Egyptian city of Rafah to facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, a dispute over the possibility of hosting Palestinian refugees in an area under construction, which Egypt has denied. Official sources gave this information on Saturday.

Mohammed Abdelfadil Shousha, governor of Egypt’s North Sinai province, told local media during a tour of the region that the zone would “help ease the burden on drivers as well as congestion in Al Arish (the capital of North Sinai).” ) and on the streets.” He explained that the zone also aims to “facilitate the work of the Egyptian Red Crescent”.

The area has been the subject of controversy in recent days when some media claimed that Egyptian authorities were building an area to house Palestinians in the event of an Israeli attack in Rafah, south of the Strip, although the Egyptian government denied this. Denied this clearly yesterday.

The governor said that part of this area, which is still in the process of construction, is destined for truck parking, secure warehouses, administrative offices and accommodation areas for drivers along with living and electrical means. In addition to the Rafah crossing, the only crossing not controlled by Israel, aid distribution has also been extended to other border areas such as Kerem Shalom. (efe)
