Comment on why doesn't Egypt open its borders to Gaza?

Remember when the US caused million is refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan, filling up all the Muslim countries with refugees? And then after the starvation and war in Syria those refugees were forces to go to Europe?

Yes, but what’s your definition of filled up?
UK has 280 people per km2
Egypt has 113 people per km2

Population density is a shit stat to use for this, most of Egypt is uninhabitable.

Egypt is literally a desert. Most of the country is uninhabitable. Do you propose they just start shoving refugees into the desert?

As is the rest of the region. Or are you saying the whole of the middle east is uninhabitable?

I mean generally able to absorb refugees. It’s less a matter of current density, and more a matter of having resources, infrastructure and critically time to absorb them. Yes, I agree Europe and the US could do more.

Please tell me who to vote for to help. Biden is pretty pro Israel afaik. :(

I’d hope they’d get a lot of NGO support

It’s obviously way more complicated than that
