Thousands of Palestinian passengers who are stuck at international airports and unable to travel back to Cairo airport made their appeal in a letter addressed to the commander in chief of the Egyptian armed forces Mohamed Tantawi.
"We, your sons and brothers, are stranded in Arab and Islamic countries and among us are patients, persons with special needs who have been wounded by the Israeli occupation's bullets and shells, and students who had to get separated from their families," the letter read.
The passengers noted that they are living in very difficult psychological and financial conditions without having enough money.
Many Palestinians are stranded at airports of other countries and not allowed to leave for Egypt because there are instructions banning them from entering Cairo airport.
