100 US activists attempt to deliver aid to Gaza

None

About 100 US activists have arrived in Egypt with the intention of traveling to Gaza to try to deliver medical aid despite a blockade on the territory.

 

Most of the aid is cleared by the Egyptian government, and it was unclear whether authorities would approve the private medical aid. The activists are part of an initiative called "Viva Palestina" that aims to send a convoy of 200 people by July 13. US organizer Mansour al-Barbari said Sunday the intended aid if worth about $1 million. (AP)
