Palestinian security forces have sealed Gaza's border with Egypt, which thousands have crossed illegally in the past week.
"The chaos that existed here is over," Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said after touring the area on Sunday.
The Israeli troops that had secured the border withdrew on Monday, prompting Palestinians to stream into Egypt.
But over the weekend, Palestinian and Egyptian troops moved to restore order and block holes in the frontier fence.
Israel's use of a wall to protect it from Palestinians, has been condemned in strong terms by some. Yet here, we see Egypt doing exactly the same thing.
