Report from Cairo on the Gaza Freedom March

The Gaza Freedom March is one of two international efforts intended to mark the one-year anniversary of the Israeli invasion by breaking the siege on Gaza.  More than 1300 delegates from 42 countries are gathering in Cairo and hope to cross into Gaza for a December 31 march.  We talk with Max Ajl about Egypt's threats to close the crossings into Gaza and its efforts to frustrate organizing and peaceful demonstrations in Cairo.  FLASH: January 3rd update.

Also heading for Gaza is a convoy of over 500 people from 20 countries in 250 vehicles loaded with humanitarian aid.  The convoy, Viva Palestina, has been held up in Aqaba Jordan as they continue to negotiate for permission to enter Egypt.  FLASH: January 3rd.  Convoy reported to have arrived in El Arish.
