“The problem is the long processing at the Egyptian border. Taking over a day,” he explained.
Asked about the reason behind the long processing at the border, he said: “They do not have Egyptian visas, and many do not even have passports with them.”ADVERTISEMENT “In fact, in their rush to get to the border by car to help incoming Filipinos cross through, Ambassador Ezzedin Tago and Vice Consul Bojer Capati got in a car accident where their car rolled over two times. But they survived and are still proceeding somehow to the border later today,” de Vega said.
“Problem is we have no officials there. But from there, military vessels from Saudi Arabia are regularly picking up passengers to ferry them to Jeddah,” he added.
