Ream and Brian were with the first Gaza-bound Viva Palestina delegation of solidarity activists from the US. The delegation was allowed to enter Gaza on July 15 with truckloads of desperately needed humanitarian supplies--but under the
condition that the convoy leave again within 24 hours.
The delegation, led by British Member of Parliament and antiwar activist George Galloway, met one bureaucratic obstacle after another from Egyptian authorities.
After negotiating an agreement with the government, the convoy finally left for the
Rafah border crossing after several days, with some of its supplies barred from getting through.
These two Rochester activists will talk about their experience.
