About 30,000 people have been trafficked to Sinai, Egypt, over the last five years. Cairo-based journalist Bel Trew tweets from a Press conference on the matter, to shed light on “a hugely under-reported issue.”
She tweets:
Between 25,000 and 30,000 people have been trafficked to the Sinai between 2009 and 2013 #egypt
