Is a video true about the Egyptians who deliver water and food to residents of the Gaza sector across the border?

In mid -October 2023, a video spread in social networks in which people with a load on their backs go through the desert. It is claimed that these residents of Egypt deliver food across the border with the gas sector. We decided to check if this is so.

Video with people walking through the desert appeared in the Russian -speaking segment of social networks on October 14. The fact that the author of the video captured the delivery of water and food to the gas sector was written by many popular Telegram channels, including "Russia now"(312 000 views at the time of writing this analysis), "Uncle Glory"(245,000),"Truthfulness"(214 000) and"Putin in Telegram"(192 000).

As a result of the attack DiedAccording to the latest data, at least 1,400 people. In response, Israel began regular shelling of the northern part of the gas sector, as well as completely blocked The supply of water, fuel and electricity to the Palestinian enclave, which is controlled by Hamas. Following this, the Israeli authorities called on the inhabitants of the north of the sector to evacuate, the UN for this She saidthat evacuation will lead to an even greater humanitarian catastrophe. At the time of writing the analysis of the power of the gas sector Reported About 2808 dead as a result of bombing.

Against this background, a video on which the Egyptians allegedly carry food to the inhabitants of the GAZ sector spread. Most posts say that people captured in the video cross the Egyptian-Palestinian border. The length of the border between Egypt and the gas sector is 14 km. In 2009, two years after coming to power In the sector of the Hamas group, Egypt He began construction Walls at the border. The height of the fence is 7 m, from the side of Egypt, the security zone adjoins it, the only walking transition - the RAFAH checkpoint.

There are no fortifications in the video, even on the horizon, so we cannot talk about the border of Egypt and the gas sector.

Google's reverse search in the image leads to VIKTOK videoPosted on the network on August 13, 2023, that is, almost two months before the attack of Hamas and the response of Israel. User user1368146280095, who published the video, accompanied him with the hashtag "Es-Salum, the western border, Egypt and Libya." The city of ES Salum is located near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and a border with Libya passes next to it. From the gas sector, this settlement is at a distance of about 1000 km.

There are several more similar videos in the profile of the alleged author of the video, where people with luggage make their way through the thorny wire Or take the load through the desert. The fact of the Misbar project suggestsThe fact that these videos are transporting their goods across the Egyptian-Libyan border, possibly smugglers.

Thus, the video itself appeared much earlier than the outbreak of the war of Israel and Hamas in 2023, but the border of Egypt is not depicted on it not with the gas sector, but with Libya.
