Egypt on High Alert at Gaza Border Amid Potential Refugee Crisis
——————————-
Egypt’s armed forces have been placed on full alert along the border with the Gaza Strip and Israel amid concerns of a potential refugee influx. According to the Shia Waves Agency, citing Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, this measure comes in response to Israel’s ground operation in Gaza, which has already displaced nearly 400,000 Palestinians.

Egyptian officials are concerned about a potential wave of refugees toward the Sinai Peninsula. They warn that such a migration could be a demographic shift and a form of forced displacement, creating a new challenge for border security and stability in the region.
