On Thursday, Cairo International Airport authorities deported 23 Sudanese and Eritrean nationals after they were arrested while trying to sneak into Israel and Libya.

An unidentified source said that 10 of the foreigners received deportation orders from security authorities in Arish, while nine received deportation orders by security authorities in Matrouh.

The remaining four received deportation orders by authorities at the Cairo Security Directorate.

The illegal aliens were sent home on a number of flights bound for Eritrea and Sudan.
