It took a number of phone calls by the CodePink organizers here in Cairo to the proper authorities, but in the end they got through. These three delegations are all headed up by people who participated in the first CodePink delegation back in March.
As Medea said, “Today we made another dent in the armor that is imprisoning the people of Gaza.”
Also the Hope Fleet, which was organized by the European Campaign to End the Siege and led by former Italian senator Fernando Rossi, made it into Gaza. Not all of the delegates were allowed in but at least all 40 vehicles carrying food and medicines crossed into Gaza.
