MB convoy engage in sit in demanding entry to Gaza

The Muslim Brotherhood and independent MP’s participating in the aid convoy which left Cairo early Monday morning engaged in an open-ended sit-in in front of the Rafah crossing, in response to the interception of their passage to the Gaza Strip, and the seizure of their trucks by Egyptian security services

Dr. Mohamed Beltagy claimed that the MP’s will continue to sit at the Rafah crossing until demands are met and security returns the aid trucks seized earlier to be delivered to the besieged Gazans

Beltagy ascertained that the MPs had been given approval by the People’s Assembly Speaker Dr. Sorour to enter the Gaza Strip, but security officials defied the issued permission

The convoy’s participants vowed they would not budge till they were given back the vehicles and goods that were intended for the besieged people
