GFM Update

A few updates on the Gaza Freedom March from Rae and Medea:

The aid -- school supplies, clothes, toys, medicine -- was delivered to Gaza. Some has already been distributed. Some laptops were handed directly to women's groups during the 48-hr period that Rae and others were there.

90 people from 21 nations finally were able to enter Gaza.

It was a difficult decision.  Many of the people who went into Gaza were Palestinians who were reuniting after long absences from their family and land.  Others were filmmakers, documentarians and journalists including the famous Israeli woman journalist Amira Hass.
