"Thousands of Palestinians crossed to visit friends in Cairo and El Arish, 24 miles from the border, to buy cheaper cigarettes, food, gasoline and medicines. In turn, hundreds of Egyptians came to Gaza."
"The Palestinians, who have been able to leave Gaza only with great difficulty in the past, visited seaside restaurants in Egypt, looked for relatives and stocked up on household items. One man even bought two sheep, saying that they were half the price of the sheep in Gaza."
"But nearby, in the former settlement of Gadid, crowds overwhelmed hundreds of guards trying to protect the greenhouses, according to The Associated Press. "They are taking plastic sheeting, they are taking hoses, they are taking anything they can get their hands on," said a Palestinian policeman, Hamza Judeh, He said about 80 percent of the greenhouses were still intact, but looters walked off with lighting fixtures, cables and wires, despite the police presence."
