Egypt bans journalists from entering Rafah

Egyptian authorities have not been letting journalists enter the village of Rafah on the border of the Gaza Strip, according to Sarah Carr of the Daily News Egypt.
Carr also reported that one broadcaster told her on a condition of anonymity that journalists were recently encouraged to "photograph certain things such as a van bearing the inscription 'this is a gift from [Egypt's ruling] National Democratic Party.'"
Another journalist, however, was critical of the press, saying that the area was a militarized zone and journalists were not supposed to be there.
