Quote:

Tens of thousands of Palestinians poured across a border wall on the border from the Gaza Strip into Egypt, seeking supplies made scarce by an Israeli blockade. After masked men destroyed much of a seven-mile wall, Egyptian authorities stood by as the Palestinians entered the city of Rafah, returning home with food, fuel and cigarettes. An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said that while Israel is concerned by the chaos, the country has no forces on the Gaza-Egypt border — and that it is Egypt's responsibility to control the situation.
