Egypt closes Rafah crossing for fourth day. Sounds like a "siege."

For the fourth day in a row, Egypt has closed the Rafah crossing, not allowing anyone to travel between Gaza and Egypt and stranding many at the border.

Also, the Egyptian army stationed some 20 tanks at the border as well.

Some Gazans wanted to travel to Mecca for Ramadan.

All this is happening as Egypt continues to destroy smuggling tunnels to Gaza, although there were reports that some fuel was making it through.

Meanwhile, Israel is sending 340 trucks of material to Gaza today.

I am still searching for articles about the "collective punishment" and "illegal blockade" of Egypt.

Or is it that only one country is not allowed to control its own borders?
