Egyptian protesters demand opening of border with Gaza Strip
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
An estimated 50,000 people protested in the coastal city of Alexandria after Friday prayers, joining thousands of people across the Middle East rallying against the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
The protesters, who thronged the streets in Alexandria, also berated Egypt for not lifting its border with the beleaguered Gaza Strip, chanting "Shame on Egypt," and "Gaza excuse us."
In the coastal city of El-Arish, the closest city to the border, protesters clashed with police during another protest. At least 10 people were slightly injured, said a police official in El-Arish who did not want to be identified because he was not authorized to speak with the media.
