JERUSALEM — Israel is refusing to allow entry to a group of African migrants huddled at a desert border fence with Egypt, officials said Wednesday, underscoring a toughened entry policy.
The Eritrean group appeared to number a dozen, including two women, according to activists and an Associated Press photographer. They were crowded near Israel’s new border fence. The group had been there for about a week, said Ran Cohen of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.
Comments
This comment is intended for the article about migrants that ARE NOT IN ISRAEL. Each time I try to post I get an error message.*************************************We are ALL lucky to live in the land of plenty. ***********Africa is a mess.*********** These refugees are in EGYPT. Why isn't anyone asking why they do not want to stay in EGYPT. My guess is- ISRAEL is a democracy. It is a land of hope, much the same as America. These refugees passed through Egypt to camp at a BORDER FENCE. You will notice ASSOCIATED PRESS did not querry why these poor , displaced people were not made welcome and comfortable in EGYPT. Since these people are in EGYPT under international law can EGYPT return these people. Why is that Israel's issue. WHERE IS THE CRITICISM OF EGYPT

This is a bias article. why doesn't the article explain Egypt's refusal since the refugees are on their border.
