EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) Egyptian border guards shot and killed an Eritrean woman and arrested her two young daughters Saturday after they tried to cross illegally into Israel, security and medical officials said.
Mervat Mer Hatover, 37, and her daughters, ages 8 and 10, were among a group of Africans who paid hundreds of dollars to human traffickers to help them cross into Israel, said a security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
The guards chased the Africans along Egypt's border with Israel near Kontala, some 19 miles south of the Aouja crossing point, firing into the air and ordering the migrants to surrender, the official said. Hatover refused and tried to jump over the barbed wire marking the border when guards opened fire on her, he said.
Hatover died from a bullet wound to the head, said Imad Kharboush, head of the emergency unit at el-Arish hospital, where the victim's body was transferred. Kharboush said he received an order from a military prosecutor to carry out an autopsy.
On Jan. 30, two people from the Ivory Coast were shot to death in similar circumstances.
Israel estimates that 2,800 people, mostly from Africa, have entered the country illegally through its border with Egypt in recent years searching for jobs.
The number shot up last summer, apparently as word spread of job opportunities in Israel and a more lenient policy toward refugees. As many as 50 people arrived each day in June, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.

Five African migrants shot dead crossing Egypt-Israel border
Posted: 21 February 2008
Amnesty International supporters are sending appeals to the Egyptian authorities expressing concern that three men and two women have been shot dead by Egyptian security forces since the beginning of 2008, as they attempted to cross the border into Israel.
On 19 February Egyptian security forces shot dead a Sudanese man trying to cross into Israel bringing the total to five. Security officials said 50-year-old Ermeniry Khasheef was shot in the back after he ignored orders to stop as he attempted to cross barbed wire near the border town of Rafah, in the north of the Sinai Peninsula.
Three days earlier, an Eritrean woman, Mervat Mer Hatover was shot dead after she ignored orders to stop as she was attempting to jump over the barbed wire in the El Kuntilla border region, in south-eastern Sinai Peninsula.
According to security officials, Mervat Mer Hatover and her two daughters - aged eight and 10 - had been among a group of Africans who paid smugglers to help them cross into Israel. All were arrested. The military prosecutor has reportedly ordered an autopsy on Mervat Mer Hatover but no proper investigation is known to have taken place.
An Amnesty International spokesperson said: 'We're concerned that the Egyptian border police are disregarding their duty in opening fire on people who may have in no way presented an immediate threat to life.
'The international standards are clear: if lives are in immediate danger, then lethal force is permissible. If not, it is not.
'Desperate migrants should not be at the mercy of border guards who disregard basic international standards over using their weapons.'
On 30 January two migrants from Ivory Cost were shot and killed trying to cross the border south of Rafah. According to the Egyptian security forces, a 22-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman bled to death before an ambulance could reach them. Six Eritreans and two Ethiopians were also arrested. On 19 January, another man from Ivory Cost bled to death after he was shot in the thigh at the border with Israel. A Sudanese and a Guinean were arrested.
Thousands of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers, mostly from Sudan and Eritrea or other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, try to cross from Egypt to Israel each year. Their numbers have been increasing since 2007. In July 2007 alone, over 230 mostly Sudanese migrants were arrested trying to cross into Israel without official permission. According to the UNHCR some two to three million Sudanese nationals live in Egypt; most of them are migrants but they also include thousands of refugees who have fled persecution in Sudan. Israel has put pressure on Egypt to reduce the flow of people crossing the border into its territory without authorisation.
Amnesty supporters will be calling on the authorities to order a thorough and impartial investigation into the killings in line with UN principles.

Egyptian police kill Eritrean migrant
Tue 18 Mar 2008, 10:37 GMT
ISMAILIA, Egypt (Reuters) - Egyptian police shot dead an Eritrean woman trying to slip across the border into Israel on Tuesday, Egyptian police sources said.
The 25-year-old woman, named only as Karina, had three bullet wounds, including one in the head. The sources said police told her to stop but she ran towards Israeli territory.
In the same incident in central Sinai police detained another Eritrean woman and her infant child, they added.
Egyptian police have killed at least eight migrants on the border since the start of the year and detained scores others, mostly from Africa.
Rights group Amnesty International says Israel has put pressure on Egypt to reduce the flow of people crossing illegally, and has called for a probe into the killings.
The migrants, including many from Sudan and a growing number from Eritrea, are seeking work or asylum away from conflict at home and harsh living conditions in Egypt, where activists say African migrants face economic marginalisation and racism.

Well, tina, it doesn't make it right. They are human beings and been through the worst. Injure them, arrest them but just don't kill them. They have a right to live too.
Where I grew up people got shot to death too because they wanted to leave our so 'great' country .... and I just heard about these cruel incidents much later on because our news got watched over by the government and were strictly censored. We were living but not living, we surely didn't know what was going on in the world not even inside our small country.

Egyptian officials: Border police kill Nigerian man
By ASHRAF SWEILAM 21 minutes ago
RAFAH, Egypt (AP) Security and medical officials say Egyptian border police have fatally shot a Nigerian man who was trying to cross illegally into Israel.
The security official says the guards also shot three Sudanese men and one woman who were also trying to sneak into Israel on Tuesday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
Imad Kharboush of El-Arish Hospital says the four Sudanese are being treated at the hospital for bullet wounds.
U.N. officials say at least 2,000 African migrants have entered Israel since January. The refugees are seeking political asylum and jobs there.
But dozens are arrested by Egyptian police and several have been fatally shot as they try to sneak over the border.
El-Arish, Egypt - Egyptian police shot and wounded a Sudanese man to prevent him from crossing the border illegally to Israel from the Sinai peninsula on Monday, a security official said.
The official, who asked not to be named, said police opened fire on the 24-year-old after he refused to comply with orders to stop. He was shot in the head.
The official said another Sudanese man, a 29-year-old, was injured in a separate incident after he cut himself while trying to cross barbed wire on the border.

""He was taken to El-Arish hospital (in north Sinai) but died shortly after arriving there,"" he said, adding that three other Sudanese nationals traveling with Mersal were arrested and taken for questioning.
In recent months Egypt has arrested dozens of illegal immigrants, mostly Africans, trying to cross into Israel from the Sinai in search of work. Several have been killed.

Tina Kamel. Same concept different actions. Yes, America tries to stop illegal border crossings (like every country in the world). But they don't kill people for trying. 2,800 people have entered Israel illegally. About 12 million have entered the US illegally and yet you don't see people being killed like those at the Egyptian border. HOW CAN THAT BE?? Obviously blatant disregard for Black Africans in Egypt. If the US treated illegals migrants like Egypt does, THOUSANDS of people would be shot at the border every week. Egyptians have a strangely blind eye for all human suffering except for Egyptian Muslim suffering (They show a superficial concern for Palestine too on occasion). I teach in the Emirates and I read a practice essay for university admissions one young Egyptian wrote, that perfectly sums it up. She wrote about the massacre that happened to the Sudanese refugees in Cairo not long ago. Talking about how unsightly the camp was, how bad the smell was, and how they brought diseases such as AIDS. I was dumbfounded that that was what all she learned from the crisis and that she would submit this paper to me (I'm African American, btw for full disclosure) or to university admissions. I didn't really say anything; I just encouraged her to rethink it. This ignorance of their (Egyptians) own sins, allows them to cry out against government graft and corruption then turn around themselves and manipulate and cheat foreigners for every penny they have; it allows them to blast the US and the west for generally non-existent racism/Islamophobia against Arabs, then turn around and discriminate against Copts. But like I said Egyptians don't see any suffering that doesn't effect them personally; which is why I fully expect the girl to blame fascist islamophobic Zionism when that essay gets thrown in the rubbish by the admissions and her application rejected.

African migrant shot dead on Egypt-Israel border
55 minutes ago
EL-ARISH, Egypt (AFP) An African migrant was shot dead by Egyptian police as he crossed the border into Israel on Saturday, while 30 suspected illegal migrants were arrested in a separate raid, security officials said.
"Police opened fire on a group of African migrants who were trying to cross the border into Israel south of Rafah," from the Sinai peninsula, an official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"One of the migrants, whose identity has not yet been established, was hit by two bullets," he added.
The official could not say if the rest of the group were arrested or managed to flee.
The death brings to 17 the number of migrants killed by Egyptian police at the border since the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, Egyptian police swooped on a suspected people trafficking safe house close to the Suez Canal and arrested 30 Africans suspected of preparing to sneak across the frontier, in the first raid of its kind in Egypt.
"Thirty illegal African immigrants were hiding in a people-trafficking house in the middle of the countryside, close to the town of Qantara, northwest of Ismaliya (Suez), waiting to cross the Suez Canal and cross the border between Egypt and Israel," a security official said.
"It is the first time that the authorities have arrested illegal immigrants in a house before being taken to the border by the traffickers," added the official, who also requested anonymity.
The raid followed a tip-off and police discovered whole families of Eritrean, Ethiopian, Sudanese and Ghanaian suspected migrants.
"Traffickers hide them from police, then split them into groups to make it easier to transport them through Sinai without being intercepted by the police," the official added.
The 250-kilometre (155-mile) Egyptian-Israeli frontier has become a major transit route for migrants, asylum-seekers and drug smugglers.
Dozens of migrants have also been arrested in recent months as Egyptian police try to halt the constant stream into Israel.
What you think how much money do these traffickers charge? I mean the Africans don't have any money or other valuables so how do they agree on business??

Egyptian police kill Sudanese migrant on Egypt-Israel border
Aug 19, 2008, 15:27 GMT
Cairo - Egyptian police shot dead a Sudanese man on Tuesday and injured two more Sudanese when they attempting to enter Israel illegally via the Rafah border crossing, Egyptian police said.
Reports said the men had planned to look for work in Israel and had each paid 5,000 dollars to people-traffickers.
The two injured men were taken to al-Arish hospital in Egypt for treatment.
Egyptian police have arrested some 480 would-be immigrants since the beginning of the year. The largest group were Eritrean, with 210 arrested, followed by Sudanese.
Cairo - Amnesty International urged the Egyptian government on Wednesday to launch an investigation into the killing by police of people illegally crossing the border into Israel.
The London-based human rights watchdog called on Egypt to "investigate promptly, thoroughly and impartially all cases in which Egyptian border guards or other security forces have opened fire on people seeking to cross Egypt's borders with Israel or other countries."
In a report entitled: "Deadly journeys through the desert", the group urged the government to "bring to justice those responsible for killings or for excessive use of force, and provide reparations to those whose rights have been abused."
According to Amnesty, 25 people have been shot dead trying to cross the border into Israel from the Sinai peninsula since mid-2007 and more than 1 300 civilians have been tried by an Egyptian military court.
"The Egyptian government is entitled to regulate the entry and stay of foreign nationals in Egypt but in doing so they must respect everyone's right to life.
"There is nothing to indicate that those seeking to leave Egypt and cross into Israel have used force or posed any threat to the Egyptian border guards who fired at them," the group said.
The 250-kilometre Egyptian-Israeli frontier has become a major transit route for migrants, asylum-seekers and drug smugglers.
Amnesty also slammed Egypt for forcibly returning Eritrean asylum seekers to their country despite the risk of torture.
The group called on the government to "cease all forcible returns of people to all countries where they face human rights violations in line with Egypt's obligations under international human rights and refugee law."
In June, up to 1 200 Eritrean nationals were expelled.
Hundreds of Eritrean asylum seekers have reached Egypt via its southern border with Sudan, either hoping to receive permanent refugee status or to illegally sneak into Israel.

Two Sudanese migrants were shot by border police and a third was detained after they were spotted along the border with Israel, an Egyptian security source in Sinai Peninsula told PANA. One woman was shot in the stomach and the man was hit in the left shoulder.
According to the official, the guards ordered the three migrants to stop and when they refused, the guards opened fire.
According to reports, the three Sudanese told interrogators that they were attempting to enter Israel in order to look for work and had paid guides some US$ 5,000 to help them cross the border.
All three have been admitted to a local hospital in Al Arish and the Sudanese Embassy in Egypt has been notified.
Since January 2008, at least 480 migrants have been detained while trying to cross the border, while dozens have been killed by border police, causing an international human rights stir.
New York-based rights organization, Human Rights Watch (HRW), called on Egyptian police to end their "shoot-to-stop" policy that has left "too many" deaths along the border.
Many African refugees and migrants often complain of poor conditions in Egypt and a lack of work opportunities, forcing them to make the dangerous journey across the Sinai desert.

If Muslims are such horrible people why the hell are you still living in their countries? Why don't you go back to the pesthole in Harlem where you came from? You have some nerve to be living amongst Muslims and dissing them while earning a living in their countries. Your behavior is typical of people of your kind, ungrateful and hateful toward anyone that is different.
It seems that centuries of slavery and unjustness have truly affected your rationality to think and made you resentful towards others, by the way, do you care to tell us about the blatant Racism within the African American community?
America has illegaly invaded and destroyed countless countries, killed millions of people for no reason and still continues to do so, yet hypocrites like yourself and Tiger Lily come here to talk about killing of a few people across the Egyptian border. Please! America has brought pain and suffering to millions of people with its tanks and nuclear weapons, and yet has the audacity to scold others for owning them. America always blaming someone else instead of taking responsibility for its own actions.
Do you know anything about the slaves owned by American companies all over the world? Everything from the clothes you wear to the plates you eat on and the plastic you use, none of that shyt is made in USA, instead it is made in sweat camps located in Asia and developing countries across the planet, but as an American you are taught since birth that it's okay for others to be suffering and dying in the favor of Greed and Capitalism. Your ignorance and arrogance about the world around you is astounding. Just look at the things you write on here, "ignorance of Egyptian's own sins". An American speaking about ignorance, give me a break! For every finger you point remember there are 4 pointing back at you. Your claim that Western racism and Islamophobia are non existent is laughable and pathetic. Now, you can take your self-righteous preaching and shove it up your racist rear end! Go preach to the American soldiers killing and raping 13 year old girls in Iraq.

Actually no, it is no different than Mexicans getting killed at the US border. The right wing American apologists saying that Mexicans do not get killed are lying.
The US imigration control officers do not hesitate to shoot anyone who tries to cross the border illegaly, and they are given permission to do that in the name of "self defence".
Human rights in the US is going down the drain. The police can now stop anyone in the street that looks Mexican and ask for his ID, even if that "Mexican" happens to be a US citizen, he is more likely to be stopped out of suspicion and asked questions about his legal status. Discrimination and Racial profiling at its best.

Egypt police kill African migrant at Israel border
Wed Jun 24, 2009 5:28am EDT
CAIRO, June 24 (Reuters) - Egyptian police shot dead an African migrant at the Israel border on Wednesday, as violence at the sensitive frontier resumes after a near 6-month lull, security sources said.
The migrant, who was unarmed, was shot around dawn as he tried to slip across barbed wire into the Jewish state from Egypt's Sinai desert, the sources said. Police opened fire when the migrant ignored orders to stop and instead tried to flee. Egypt for years tolerated tens of thousands of African migrants on its territory, but its attitude hardened after it came under pressure over the past two years to halt rising numbers of Africans trying to cross the border into Israel.
Egyptian security forces shot dead at least 28 migrants at the border last year, and deported hundreds of Eritrean asylum seekers back to Asmara despite objections from the United Nations, which feared they could face torture at home.
In November, U.S.-based Human Rights Watch called on Egypt to stop the shootings. There were no killings between mid-December and mid-May, although the reason for the abrupt halt was not clear.
The migrant killed on Wednesday, thought to be in his 20s, was the third killed since mid-May at the border , a main transit route for migrants and refugees seeking work or asylum in Israel.
Security sources said the man carried no identity documents but was thought to be from an African country. Many of the migrants who have attempted to cross the border have been from Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan.
Security sources said police also detained two Ethiopian women, aged 18 and 19, as they tried to cross into Israel. A third migrant from Burkina Faso was injured by barbed wire and detained in a separate attempt to cross the border. (Writing by Cynthia Johnston)
