Thursday 01 Jan 2015 - 15:48 Makkah mean time-10-3-1436 Cairo (IINA) – Egypt said it will double the width of a buffer zone being constructed along the border with the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli blockade for the past seven years, Press TV reported.
Egyptian authorities will next week double the width of a 500-meter wide buffer zone, currently under construction along some 10 km of the border, North Sinai provincial Governor Abdel Fattah Harhur said Tuesday. Some 800 homes will be demolished in the process.
Families from the area were told to evacuate and to inform authorities of the Rafah border crossing whether they seek financial compensation or alternative housing, Harhur added.
