    Lets hope this area is for refugees and Egypt are on side.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68375460

    Egypt has built more than 3km of wall in the past week in addition to further clearance of a large area next to its border with Gaza, BBC Verify has found.

    It comes after Israel warned it is preparing for a ground offensive in Gaza's southern city of Rafah.

    The city has seen a huge increase in its population in recent months.

    Egyptian authorities say "no provisions" are being made for displaced Palestinians and the area is meant for a "logistical hub" for aid.

    But an aid worker for a UK charity, who is part of the humanitarian efforts in Gaza, told the BBC she had "never seen large scale clearing of land" for such a logistical hub and they were unaware of any such plan.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    Egypt are saying it is an area for staging logistics. Clearly not true, as they are building a wall, and you don't need a secure wall around a logistics yard that is in the middle of the desert, maybe just a few soldiers tyo guard it would be enough. So yes, it is clearly intended as somewhere to put refugees. The BBC articles suggests it might be "worst case planning", and I think that is probably what it is.

    Egypt used to be responsible for Gaza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Pa...e_Protectorate, but that was not a happy experience for them. They really do not want to be responsible for looking after Gaza, or its inhabitants, or for enabling them to leave into a refugee camp from where they will be unlikely to ever return home. Definitely worst case planning.

      First to arrive is Mr. Wiggin (John Cleese), who describes his architectural design and modern construction, and then explains his killing technique starting with a conveyor belt and "rotating knives". It turns out that Mr. Wiggin mainly designs slaughterhouses and has misunderstood the owners' attitude to their tenants.
