Dozens of Palestinians along with the families of a number of youths who were missing during their travel from Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing staged a sit-in before the headquarters of International Committee of Red Cross in Gaza. They demanded that Egyptian authorities acquaint them on the fate of their sons.
Adnan Abu Watfa representative of the family of the missing Husam Abu Watfa told the PIC that the family asked the Egyptian authorities and Egypt’s President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to help unveil the fate of their son who was going to Qatar to visit his sick parents when he was missed.
The family said that they contacted the Palestinian Embassy and the competent authorities which has led to no positive response in this regard.
For his part Mahoud Abu Mehliha told the PIC that they lost contact with his brother Ayman after he had reached Cairo International Airport heading to Rafah crossing on August 16 2017 after finishing his PhD study.
