Israeli soldiers are refusing to allow entry to a group of about 20 Eritrean refugees trapped for six days between Egyptian land and a high steel fence that Israel has erected along its southern border. Despite high temperatures and lack of shade, the soldiers have been instructed to provide only limited quantities of water.

The group, which includes two women and a child, are refusing to return to Egypt. Technically, they are on Israeli territory but the recently erected fence prevents them advancing.

According to Israeli media reports, one of the women was visibly pregnant, but migrants told the soldiers watching the group she had miscarried.

The refugees have not been offered food since arriving at the spot in the northern stretch of the Israel-Egypt border last Thursday. Temperatures in the desert area are expected to peak at about 33C on Wednesday.

Shocking*

A group of activists said Wednesday said that when they arrived around midnight Tuesday at the stretch of the fence near Kadesh Barnea they were sent away by IDF troops who showed them a warrant issued the night earlier ruling the area a closed military zone.

In addition, they said that they spoke to a battalion commander at the scene who told them that the army is not providing food for the migrants.

The group of around 20 migrants are at the moment sitting on the desert floor in a sort of limbo, within Israeli territory but on the wrong side of the border fence, and dead-set on not being returned to Egyptian authorities.

BonGa

the worthless woyane pig

A definition to "Revolutions", to Isaias Arabqit's representative in Ethiopian Review,

First the Arabs taught Eritreans to hate Ethiopia, its history, its languages and its people, then the Arabs taught Eritreans to hate themselves.
Now, they are buying and selling them like goats. Does the word "shame" has more fitting meaning than this?

roha, the problem is not unique to isayas and eritreans. let's not trivialize the problem.

Roha ! Awash ! The Fara @game keep saying Isayas Arebqit daily Gematam koshasha
