Egypt: Bedouins fire in air to warn away Palestinians

Armed Egyptian Bedouin opened fire in the air to warn away Palestinians, witnesses said. The confrontation in the town of al-Joura occurred as residents on the Egyptian side of the border said shops had run out of goods since hundreds of thousands of Palestinians poured into Egypt when Hamas militants blew up the wall last week.

 

"The stores are empty and what is available is so expensive," said Youssef Ali, a Bedouin in the divided border town of Rafah. (Reuters)
