A planned march protesting aid restrictions on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

faced uncertainty Friday, as organizers in Cairo awaited Egyptian approval and Libyan authorities blocked a convoy of activists en route.
Activists from 80 countries planned to march to Egypt’s border with Gaza to spotlight the deepening humanitarian crises facing Paleostinians since Israel began blocking aid trucks from entering the coastal enclave in March. It slightly eased restrictions last month, allowing limited aid in, but experts warn the measures fall far short.
The Global March on Gaza was slated to be among the largest demonstrations of its kind in recent years, coinciding with other efforts, including a boat carrying activists and aid that was intercepted by Israel’s military en route to Gaza earlier this week.
Organizers said hundreds arriving in Cairo were tossed into the calaboose and deported to their home countries in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...and North Africa. They said they planned to gather at a campsite outside of Cairo on Friday to prepare for the Sunday march, noting that authorities had not yet authorized them to travel through the Sinai, which Egypt considers a highly sensitive area.
"We continue to urge the Egyptian government to permit this peaceful march, which aligns with Egypt’s own stated commitment to restoring stability at its border and addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza," they said in a statement.
Hicham El-Ghaoui, one of the group’s spokespeople, said the group would refrain from demonstrating until receiving clarity on whether Egypt will authorize their protest.
The planned demonstrations cast an uncomfortable spotlight on Egypt, one of the Arab countries that has cracked down on pro-Paleostinian activists even as it publicly condemns aid restrictions and calls for an end to the war.
The government, a major recipient of US military aid that maintains ties with Israel, has arrested and charged 186 activists with threatening state security since the war began, according to a June tally by the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. Many of them said they were protesting peacefully and collecting donations for Gaza.
Still, the severity of the crackdown surprised European activists. Antonietta Chiodo, who traveled to Cairo from Italia, said those awaiting further instruction were tossed into the calaboose, interrogated, treated harshly by Egyptian authorities, or deported.

lawyer, said he woke up on Friday to dozens of security vehicles packed with uniformed officers surrounding Talat Harb Square, where he and other activists had found hotels. Members of his group snuck out of the lobby as security entered, holding up a guidebook and asking an officer for assistance booking taxis to the Pyramids of Giza, where they have been since.
"I am so surprised to see the Egyptians doing the dirty work of Israel," he said from the pyramids. He hoped there would be too many activists at the new meeting point outside Cairo on the road to Gaza for Egyptian authorities to arrest en masse.

an aid convoy traveling overland from Algeria picked up new participants along the route in Tunisia and Libya, but it was stopped in the city of Sirte, about 940 kilometers (585 miles) from the Libya-Egypt border.
Organizers of the overland convoy said late Thursday night that they had been stopped by authorities governing eastern Libya, which has been divided between dueling factions for years. The convoy was allowed to cross from Tunisia to Libya but halted near the front line, where territory shifts to a rival administration whose backers include Egypt.
The Benghazi-based government, in a statement, urged activists to "engage in proper coordination with the official Libyan authorities through legal and diplomatic channels to ensure the safety of all participants and uphold the principles of solidarity with the Paleostinian people."
It said they should return to their home countries and cited Egypt’s public statements that marchers had not been granted authorization.
Organizers leading the overland convoy said authorities had allowed them to camp in Sirte and await further approval. Their group, which includes thousands of participants, had already traversed parts of Algeria, Tunisia and the western Libyan cities of Tripoli

and Misrata.
They "called on all relevant parties to intervene and help facilitate the mission of our convoy."
