15 migrants from Sudan were killed at the border of Egypt and Israel. They were shot by the Egyptian policemen trying to get into Israel through Egypt. Overall, 33 migrants have been killed by Egyptian police officers over the past year and a half. For Egypt, it is going to be hard to get people to want to go there now. It is not good that they are killing people who are trying to get into a bordering country. When people try to get into Israel, they are getting sent back to Egypt and Egypt is then not treating the people humanely. This goes to the human rights issues we were talking about, it is hard to find a good way to go about trying to fix these issues. Something does need to be done about this because people are not going to be able to get to Israel at all anymore if people are still living in fear that they are going to get shot.
