The Path to Gaza: Death and Injuries for Aid!

Following a call from Hamas rulers regarding the protest over the delay of an international aid convoy on Wednesday, an Egyptian cop was shot dead by a Hamas sniper from the Gaza side. On Tuesday night, the clash between international activists and Egyptian forces resulted in injuries to more than 50 activists.

The first incident took place at the nearby Mediterranean port of El-Arish when Egypt refused to allow part of the convoy to enter its territory and move on to Gaza.  British MP George Galloway stated that Egyptian authorities had asked for the transfer of the route of 25 percent of the convoy towards Israel.

Al-Sakka, the Jordanian activist, said six activists were detained, including Americans and British citizens.
