| Egypt authorities detain fuel smugglers at Gaza border |
| 2011-10-05 |
| (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities on Saturday jugged three men attempting to smuggle fuel into the Gazoo Strip via underground tunnels, Egyptian media said. Cairo-based news site Masrawi news said officers seized the men with two cars carrying large quantities of fuel in Rafah, a town on the Egypt-Gazoo border. The report said Egyptian drivers demonstrated in El-Arish also on Saturday, to protest fuel shortages in the Egyptian city. A network of tunnels under the border provides a lifeline to Gazoo residents since Israel imposed a blockade on the coastal enclave in 2006. |
