Flight to and from Cairo: about $1,000
Tax to cross the border from Egypt into Gaza: 95 Egyptian Pounds
Chanting "With our soul, with our blood, we will save you, Palestine" in Arabic IN PALESTINE: Priceless!
Thanks to all of you for your help in pressuring the Egyptian and US governments to let Viva Palestina into Gaza. We came in last night and it has been...incredible. They let all of us in, including the Gazan Palestinians (who we were afraid might be denied). The mood was jubilant.
There's so much more to say, but for now I will say this: the Egyptian government let us into Gaza on the condition that we have twenty-four hours. (We were supposed to stay for three days.) Twenty-four hours to see Gaza, twenty-four hours to share solidarity. For the Gazans among us, twenty-four hours to see their families.
More later. Sunny, blue sky over Gaza.
