Egyptian police kill Eritrean migrant

Egyptian border guards on Wednesday shot and killed an Eritrean migrant who was attempting to infiltrate into Israel through a cross border point in the Egyptian town of Rafah.

General Manger of Al-Arish Central Hospital Sami Anwar told Xinhua that the body of an Eritrean man, 36, was transformed to the hospital, but died of severe bleeding due to a gun shot.

Egyptian-Israeli borders have long been a transit for illegal African migrants who seek jobs in Israel.

Egypt has killed dozens of African migrants near the border in the past two years.
