The demonstrations are a reminder that Egypt shares a border with the coastal enclave.
Protests have occurred at Egyptian embassies around the world over the last nine days, with the demonstrators demanding that Cairo stop blocking Gazans from fleeing their war-torn enclave.
The first protest occurred on July 21, when a 27-year-old Egyptian resident of the Netherlands, Anas Habib, chained shut the gates of his embassy in The Hague with a simple bicycle lock.
He livestreamed his actions on social media, and when the newly barricaded embassy employees protested, he exclaimed sarcastically in Arabic, “Why are you upset now? It’s blocked on your side, not ours… Turns out the siege really hurts. It breaks your heart to be trapped.”
