An Irish woman who crossed a breached border into Gaza with her daughter said Wednesday that border guards were preventing them from returning to Egypt.Seems to me they had plenty of available cash to buy stuff in Egypt.
Treasa Ni Cheannabhain said she and her daughter, an Egyptian national, entered Gaza on Saturday, more than a week after Hamas militants knocked down the border wall.
As hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flooded into Egypt, Ni Cheannabhain, 56, said she sneaked into Gaza with her 19-year-old daughter, Naisrin el-Safty, to distribute money to needy Gazans.
Why didn't this idiot just stand on the Egypt side of the border and be a human ATM?
Egyptian guards resealed the border Sunday, ending the 12-day breach. Ni Cheannabhain said she had not heard warnings that the crossing would close.Cry me a river.
The pair tried to return to Egypt late Tuesday, but were stopped by Egyptian border guards.
"I admitted I entered illegally, but we want to come back in legally," Ni Cheannabhain said in a telephone interview from the border town of Rafah.
Ni Cheannabhain is married to an Egyptian physician.
On the upside, she at least hasn't stood in front of any bulldozers yet.
