<p style="font-size:10pt;">RAFAH, (PIC)&#8211; News reports said the  Egyptian soldiers stranded on Gaza borders as result of the internal  unrest get food and basic supplies from the besieged Gaza Strip.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Palestinian government&#8217;s security  forces in Gaza have been providing Egyptian soldiers deployed on the  Rafah border area with food supplies for days, according to reports and  eyewitnesses.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">A Palestinian security officer described this assistance as a religious and moral duty towards Egypt&#8217;s security forces.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">An Islamic charity also reportedly  provided meals to hundreds of Egyptian soldiers at Rafah area. Gaza  merchants as well smuggle essential staples into Egypt after stores  there run out of stock.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Gaza security forces had been intensively  deployed along the Egyptian-Palestinian border area to prevent any  breach of the borderline.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In Cairo, more than one million Egyptians  flocked into Attahrir square to listen to the weekly Friday Khutba  (sermon) and perform prayers.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Preacher Sheikh Mazhar Shaheen urged the  protesters to hold their ground until Hosni Mubarak responds to their  demands and leaves power.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">After Friday Khutba and prayers, the  protesters performed prayers for the victims killed during the popular  uprising that broke out several days ago. Later the crowds started to  chant slogans calling on Mubarak to step down and sing the national  anthem and patriotic songs.</p>
