An Egyptian official has denied “Western allegations” regarding the deployment of British forces along Egypt-Gaza border.
The Cairo News Company yesterday quoted the unnamed source as saying that the “Western allegations” were both “false and baseless”.
Israel has killed more than 7,030 Palestinians, including 2,913 children, and injured 18,484 people, in the ongoing bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip, while cutting electricity, water, fuel and medicine from the 2.3 million Palestinians in the enclave, causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
Human rights groups and world leaders have decried Israel’s genocidal policies in Gaza and highlighted its numerous violations of international law, and the war crimes committed against Palestinians.
