Egypt: Tons of cement awaits entry to Gaza

Press TV – March 27, 2011

A number of prominent Egyptian civil activists have pledged to deliver ten tons of cement to the besieged Gaza strip through the Rafah border crossing.

A group called ‘Egyptian-International Coalition for lifting the siege and rebuilding Gaza’ says trucks carrying cement from Egypt are parked close to the border, a Press TV correspondent reported on Sunday.

A 15-member delegation is expected to accompany the shipment. The delegation consists of prominent lawyers, engineers, politicians and several civil activists.

The development comes weeks after a historic revolution ousted President Hosni Mubarak from power

Egypt has imposed a blockade on Gaza since the democratically elected Hamas government took control of the territory in 2007. Since then Israel has imposed a crippling blockade on the territory triggering what a humanitarian crisis.

A major Egyptian political party, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), has recently demanded that the country’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces takes action in breaking the siege of Gaza.

In a separate development, an Israeli airstrike has killed at least two Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip. Three other Palestinians were injured in the attack which took place east of Jabaliya.

Reports say the Israeli aircraft fired at least one missile into the region.

Israeli warplanes have repeatedly targeted the coastal strip during the past week. At least 10 Palestinians including a number of children were killed in the air raids.

  1. Methinks it won’t do any good… there are quite a few Iranian ships in the Mediterranean. If some brave country.. started warfare against israhell, much as israhell insolently and constantly wages air strikes, etc. against the Palestinians, THEN they could use the cement to rebuild.. there is no reason to rebuild until someone/some power makes this little snotty tit of america a believer.. and it has to happen soon. They need to get OUT of Palestine… PERIOD! Run them out if that is what it takes… they believe they are invincible and I guess they are if the world believes it also.. it is getting mighty ludicrous at what they are getting away with.. time for WAR with the WARmongers!
