39 internationals from Gaza 'Hope Convoy' and 10 Canadians from CodePink group stranded as Egypt limits access

May 25th, 2009

From: International Movement to Open Rafah Border

The 39 members of the delegation are still stranded inside the Egyptian border compound and they are still trying to enter into Gaza.

After allowing them to enter and stamping theirs passports, Egyptian authorities took them back their passports and denied them to cross the border, telling them to go back to Al Arish.

The whole delegation is always inside the compound and they refuse to leave.

A 39-person solidarity convoy to Gaza was turned away at the Rafah crossing on Sunday when Egyptian authorities agreed to allow only 16 of the activists to cross the border.

The organizers of the European Hope for Gaza Convoy refused Egypt’s offer to allow only part of the group into Gaza, insisting that all 39 members cross, according to Ahmad Al-Kurd, the minister of social affairs in the Gaza government.

Al-Kurd held a press conference at the main gate of Rafah crossing during which he asserted that Egypt first informed the Palestinian side that the whole convoy will be given access to the Strip, then changed its decision, granting entry to only 16 people.

An organizer of the convoy, Amin Abu Rashid, for his part, said, “The Egyptians informed the convoy it would not be allowed to pass to the Gaza Strip.”

The group of volunteers and European members of parliament said it was bringing 12 ambulances and some 30 truckloads of medical supplies to Gaza, which has been under an Israeli-led land and sea blockade since June 2007.

Egypt has also maintained a near complete closure of Gaza, opening the Rafah border only occasionally.

CodePink’s first delegation with 10 people was rejected at the border on Saturday and is at the border now but still having trouble.

Another CodePink delegation with 40 people will try to reach Al Arish this evening before trying to cross the border tomorrow at 9am.

39 internationaux du convoi « Un Espoir pour Gaza » et 10 Canadiens du CodePink bloqués alors que l’Egypte bloque l’accès à Gaza

Dernières informations à 22h

Les 39 membres du convoi « Un espoir pour Gaza » se trouvent toujours à l’intérieur du passage de Rafah, côté égyptien et ils tentent toujours d’entrer, tous ensemble, dans Gaza.

Après les avoir autorisés à franchir le passage frontalier et leur avoir tamponnés leurs passeports, les autorités égyptiennes leur ont repris pour annuler leurs visas d’entrée. Elles leur ont demandé de partir pour Al Arish, ce que les militants européens refusent et ils campent à l’intérieur du bâtiment

Un convoi composé de 39 personnes a été refoulé dimanche au point de passage de Rafah alors que les autorités égyptiennes acceptent l’entrée à 16 des militants.
Les organisateurs du convoi européen « Un Espoir pour Gaza » ont refusé l'offre égyptienne de n’autoriser l’entrée dans Gaza qu’à une partie du groupe, en insistant sur le fait que les 39 membres devaient être autorisés à entrer, selon Ahmad Al-Kurd, le ministre des Affaires Sociales du de Gaza.

Al-Kurd a tenu une conférence de presse devant la porte principale du point de passage de Rafah au cours de laquelle il a affirmé que l'Égypte avait informé la partie palestinienne que l'ensemble du convoi serait autorisée à entrer dans la Bande de Gaza, puis a changé d’avis en n’autorisant l’entrée qu’à seulement 16 personnes.

Un organisateur du convoi, Amin Abu Rashid, a déclaré: «L'Egypte a informé le convoi qu’il ne serait pas autorisé à entrer dans la Bande de Gaza."

Le groupe de bénévoles et de membres du Parlement européen a déclaré qu'il apportait 12 ambulances et 30 camions de fournitures médicales à Gaza, qui fait l'objet d'un blocus terrestre et maritime à l’initiative des Israéliens depuis Juin 2007.

L'Égypte a également maintenu une fermeture presque totale de Gaza, en n’ouvrant la frontière de Rafah que sporadiquement.

Samedi, la première délégation de CODEPINK composée de 10 personnes a été également refoulée au passage de Rafah. Elle se trouve toujours à la frontière, mais elle a toujours des problèmes.

Une autre délégation de 40 personnes de CODEPINK arrivera à Al Arish, ce soir, avant de tenter de franchir la frontière demain matin à 9 heures.
