We are going to Rafah border early this morning and we were expecting that we have security clearance. Now the news is that the European convoy has not been given clearance.

It is Friday 6:45 pm and we have had a very full day –- a day of adventures and blessings. I want to say that I can feel the support of all you. You are making the difference for us.

It is Saturday, May 23, and at 10 am we will leave for the Rafah border and as Ann Wright says: knock on the doors at Rafah and tell them we are here.

Yesterday was a very long, long day. The plan was to buy lots of goods to bring to Gaza.

It seems we have been in Gaza forever. My hotel overlooks the sea. I hear the sounds of the waves and it is so lovely -- like any resort but Gaza is not a resort -- it is a prison.
