"Egyptian Christians fearing attacks by Islamic State group militants are fleeing the volatile northern part of the Sinai Peninsula for a fourth day, after a string of sectarian killings there sent hundreds fleeing . . .
"[An o]fficial . . of the Evangelical Church in Ismailia . . east of Cairo says Sunday that over 100 families from the city of el-Arish and nearby had passed through the church since Friday, some 500 people.
"He says the families arrive scared, exhausted and in need of supplies, which were being stockpiled at the church via donations from several parishes. They are then transported to be housed in and around the city, in private homes and now also housing provided by the government."
