WE’VE BROKEN THE SIEGE: Blogging from Gaza City
by Brian Lenzo | Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Its 2am and I need to get up in 4 hours.  Egypt delayed us long enough to push our reception into Gaza into the late evening.  More on that later.  For now, some pictures to give you a glimpse of the raw emotion and joy of families reuniting, activists achieving their goal, and an international seige being broken by a bunch of people from all over the US who just decided that enough was enough.  Hard not to choke up typing this….more to come
