Egyptian War Prisoners returned by Israel
Caption Description
The Egyptian war prisoners captured by Israel have been returned to their country. The repatriation took place in the Sinai Peninsula between 21 January and 3 February, through the good offices of the U.N. Emergency Force (UNEF). The Israeli authorities handed over the war prisoners to UNEF - who in turn handed them over to the Egyptian authorities - at the rate of 500 per day. Four Israeli prisoners of war were returned on the 27th, and a last group of 202 Egyptians were handed over yesterday. The transfer was observed by two delegates from the International Committee of the Red Cross --one from Israel, one from Egypt- and UNEF provided transport to the railroad station of Misfaq, where the groups were turned over to the Egyptian authorities.
This photo, taken at Misfaq, shows a group of prisoners being lined up for their transfer to the Egyptian authorities, as UNEF, Red Cross and Egyptian officials and press correspondents look on. The trucks in which the prisoners arrived are still on the road in the background.
