Kathryn's Gaco Focus City


This week, the Palestinians who live in Gaza tried to stop the Israeli blockade. A Palestinian who was crossing the boarder, said that 'People are very happy. We have been living like birds in a cage. Now we have been released, we are so happy.'
The majority of the Palestinians who crossed the boarder into Cairo, Egypt came to shop, and there were people everywhere running about on their motorcycles carrying their bought goods.
With the boarder now gone, families who had been separated by the boarder took the chance to be reunited with their loved ones.
The Egyptian President said that he supports the Palestinians, and that he had authorized the crossing of the boarder into Egypt. Many Palestinians now in Egypt are welcome to stay, eat, and buy thing, and then be let back into Palestine as long as they aren't carrying weapons.
Israel wants the Egyptian police to do something about the surge of people, because they do not want the Palestinians to smuggle weapons back into their country. But, the police were powerless. They had tried to get the Palestinian protesters to move by beating them and spraying them with water, but they didn't budge an inch.
It remains unclear about hat is going to happen.
