Rafah Sit-In Camp Video


Urgent Call for help from the Border....


Please consider joining the Rafah Sit-In Camp - or supporting them.

To contact the US Egyptian Embassy regarding the mistreatment and

restrictions placed on the humanitarian volunteers with the

International Movement to Open the Rafah Border (IMORB) use the FAX

numbers. The email addresses on the embassy web site are all faulty.

The phone numbers at the DC embassy are a maze. You can try regional

office phone numbers - you at least get to leave a voice message.

Wash. DC  EMBSSY FAX - 202.244.4319, NEW YORK FAX 212.308.7643


Iman, one of two Egyptian journalists sustaining the sit-in camp at

Rafah crossing has asked for support and urgently invites you to go to

Rafah now.




Hello,


I came back from Rafah yesterday, but when I'll go back in few days I'll go

to the gate ask to meet an official there and ask him about our colleagues

Jenny and Natalie. I'll give him a piece of my mind as I always do and

translate everything you wrote here and add the demand to let them go home

to our list of sit-in demands.


Meanwhile, the Egyptian government closed the bathrooms, no water, no

electricity to charge our phones and they even closed the mosque and warned

everyone in the area from helping us. They want to get rid of us before

Galloway comes. We're there and will be there and need you to come join us.


Please, think of new ideas we can use and do to put more pressure on the

authorities to listen to our demands. They think we're a small number and

can do nothing, we want to change this idea.



Please, watch how they steel the aids for Gaza from Al Arish.

In solidarity,
