She had interceded on our behalf when we were having the same experience with the Egyptian government in March, when they refused to let our buses take us to Al Arish. In March, we were all able to enter and deliver the thousands of pink baskets of aid to the women of Gaza for International Women’s Day.  So naturally this time we again appealed to the First Lady.  CODEPINK cofounder Jodie Evans led the delegation that approached Mrs. Mubarak, and she recounts her efforts in her blog post, “No Stone Unturned”: [...] [...] Before leaving the states, we had reached out to Mrs. Mubarak, wife of Egyptian premiere Hosni Mubarak.

Your emails do what the mainstream media doesn't- I look forward to each one. It is wonderful that you have connected with Mrs. Mubarack.

It's sad that the world stands by and watches what has happened and is happening in Gaza. It's encouraging that you're trying to help and make known this lack of common decency. I hope US citizens work for the US to ratify the International Criminal Court, implement the Responsibility to Protect, join the world community and work toward a democratic world federation.

I am an American Gazan if you will, and I wish I were there with you to help out and bear some of the struggle that you people willingly bear to support this noble cause. I pray that the Egyptian govt. would let you all enter Gaza as this surely is not a fun trip but a pressing humanitarian aid mission that the rest of the world should strongly support.
