A number of French activists left Cairo International Airport to other world
capitals after Egyptian authorities denied on Thursday their entry to Gaza
through the Rafah crossing.

The activists protested the authorities' decision not to allow them entrance
by lying on the floor in the airport imitating dead bodies while draping
Palestinian flags on their bodies.

Four of them headed to Brussels, four others to Germany, and three to Paris.

A source at the Cairo airport said the French consul to Cairo apologized for
the lack of cooperation by activists with the airport authorities.

The source added that the security did respond to the provocations of
activists as they were instructed to act with the utmost restraint until the
activists left the country.
