What is Egypt building on its border with Gaza? | DW News

Evidence is mounting that Egypt is building a holding area for Palestinian refugees on its border with the Gaza Strip. Sources in Egypt say the work is in response to a possible Israeli offensive on the Gazan city of Rafah, despite international pressure. Satellite images show what appears to be construction work underway close to the Egyptian border with Gaza. Video released by the Britain-based NGO Sinai Foundation for Human Rights also shows building going on in the area. Egyptian authorities have denied making preparations for Palestinians being forced out of Gaza and are urging Israel not to attack Rafah.
