Egypt has blocked activists taking part in a planned march to Gaza, halting their attempt to reach the border and challenge Israel’s blockade on humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory before it could begin.

    Sounds like they’ve blocked about 170 people who they claim didn’t have the proper authorizations. Wonder how many remain.

    Have people tried to fly drones across the border? Small payload, but probably way more effective. Can drop medicine. I know this is more symbolic, but getting aid to people should be the priority.

    Is the border so secure that you couldn’t get within a mile or two?
