Canadian delegation returns from Gaza

May 28th, 2009 by admin

One of the three delegations that answered CodePink’s call to enter Gaza in the same period, a group of Canadian citizens, are on their way back from Gaza. They spent three days at the border trying to get in and ended up with only 36 hours in Gaza. They met with organizations and the people of Gaza around the clock, from 6am to midnight, to make use of the little time they had. And all agreed it was well worth it.

The delegation from New York as well as the students, mostly from the American University in Cairo will be leaving Gaza as we arrive and we hope to meet up with them to hear their stories.

These three delegations were all organized by participants of the March CodePink trip to Gaza. And they have done much to pave the way for us.
