Madam, - If Egypt is so concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people (January 29th) then why did it build a physical barrier all along its border with Gaza? Egypt doesn't have the excuse that Israel has, of being targeted for daily rocket attacks and suicide bombings.
It doesn't have a similar barrier at any other point in its borders so why has Egypt treated those in Gaza, whom it claims are its Arab brothers, so harshly and why does Egypt refuse to give official papers to those Palestinians who live in Egypt, even after 40 years, in effect forcing them to be refugees and live in such conditions? - Yours, etc,
