Summary:The ceasefire between Egypt and Israel started on June 8. Israel, then occupying all access points to the Suez Canal, claimed that over 7,000 Egyptian troops had been killed, and 3,000 prisoners taken. Thousands of other Egyptians walked across the burning Sinai Desert, trying to reach the Canal. In the Mitla Pass, the wreckage of Egyptian armour stretched for two miles.
