The Gaza Freedom March brought together hundreds of people from 43 countries, including high-profile leaders, to challenge the inhumane and illegal siege on Gaza. Organized by the US-based CodePink and UK-based Viva Palestina, the march brought hundreds of people to Egypt to bring badly-needed humanitarian supplies to Gaza and march against the ongoing blockade of Gaza.

To our dismay the Egyptian authorities did not allow the march to proceed and activists scrambled to make their voices heard despite the overt repression. Come hear the personal account of one woman's journey to Egypt with the Gaza Freedom March!
