EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma’an) -- Fuel donated by Qatar for the Gaza Strip has been held up in Egypt's Sinai due to unrest, Egyptian security officials said on Sunday.
Seven trucks of fuel were set to leave Egypt via Israel's al-Auja crossing, escorted by security officers from Suez, but the delivery had to be abandoned after Bedouin blocked roads in central Sinai, the security sources said.
The officials noted that Hajj pilgrims from Gaza were still returning to the strip from northern Sinai city el-Arish despite the security situation.
Three Egyptian policemen died on Saturday when gunmen fired on their car in el-Arish, before escaping. more
