The southern sector of the Gaza Strip is guarded by the Brazilian contingent of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), which also patrols the Khan Yunis sector of the Armistice Demarcation Line, with the help of members of the Indian contingent of UNEF. In addition, Brazilian units also help to guard the UNEF Maintenance Area in Rafah and the UNEF Supply Depot in Port Said.
Here, units of the contingent stationed near Rafah march past their officiating Battalion Commander, Major D.P.A. Confucio (on dais, at left) during one of their weekly parades, usually held on Saturdays.
