My lovely friends Mary and Hedy (herself a holocaust survivor) from the Free Gaza movement are both in the Freedom March trying to reach Gaza. They, and I believe 30 others, are now on hungerstrike, demanding Egypt allow the humanitarean convoy to travel to Gaza. Demonstrations are being held by participants at the Israeli embassy and others and at the UN. Follow Mary and Hedy at www.freegaza.org and the Freedom March here – video coverage is uploaded daily.
