Watan-The “Sinai Foundation for Human Rights” stated today, Wednesday, that it has obtained information from a relevant source indicating that the Egyptian authorities have begun building a secure buffer zone surrounded by walls in eastern Sinai to accommodate Palestinians from Gaza in the event of a mass displacement of the sector’s residents, suggesting that there are undisclosed preparations and that the resettlement plan is being implemented.<\/p>\n
The Sinai Foundation is a non-governmental human rights organization, independent and concerned with monitoring and documenting human rights conditions in the Sinai Peninsula, documenting violations and transgressions by the parties involved on the ground.<\/p>\n
The human rights foundation quoted two local contractors as saying that construction work undertaken by local companies, commissioned by the “Sons of Sinai” construction company owned by businessman close to the authorities, Ibrahim Al-Arajani, aims to establish a walled area with a height of 7 meters.<\/p>\n
This comes after the removal of the rubble of original residents’ homes destroyed during the war on terrorism – as described by Sisi’s media – and the preparation and leveling of the soil, with these works expected to be completed in the shortest possible time, not exceeding ten days.<\/p>\n
