Hundreds of Palestinian citizens on Saturday morning participated in a march called for by Hamas Movement on the Palestinian-Egyptian borders to protest the Egyptian decision to close all tunnels in Rafah area.
Hamas spokesman Mansour Barbak gave a speech during the protest demanding Egypt to find an alternative and effective solution before deciding to close all tunnels.
"Do not let Gaza people suffer from the blockade and do not leave us vulnerable to the Zionist arrogance and pressures," Barbak appealed to the Egyptian leadership.
"What we need from Egypt, which represents a lifeline for the Palestinians, is to lift the blockade," he added.
He stressed that the tunnels are used to provide vital needs for Gaza people and if they are closed, Egypt has to provide an alternative.
The Egyptian government started to destroy the tunnels used by Gazans to bring essential products into the besieged Strip in the aftermath of the terrorist attack that claimed the lives of many Egyptian soldiers.
