The night fell and micros from the Egyptian police arrived. There were struggles and put many people inside. They don’t say where they take them. We managed to escape before. I disconnect until again notice. #GlobalMarchToGaza

Update 19:50 h el Cairo
Official statement
There are now reports for the use of force against participants, some of whom have been arrested, harassed, physically and deported …
Hundreds of peaceful international participants from Gaza Gaza remain in Limbo while negotiations with the Egyptian authorities continue. The group, consisting of people from more than 80 countries, expected to be transferred safe and except Cairo and their passports were returned.
However, if people are taken to the airport for deportation under false pretexts, participants are prepared to start a peaceful and non -violent protest in response.
In case of this result:
The address of the march will begin a hunger strike.
Others are also prepared to join in solidarity, rejecting food as a form of peaceful resistance.
This is a moral response to deception or suppression of your right to meet and manifest peacefully for Gaza. This group of civilians – humanitarians, educators, artists, doctors and organizers – has joined in peaceful solidarity, seeking to march from Cairo to Gaza to demand the end of the siege, the openness to humanitarian aid and the end of the genocide.
We call on the international community, the media and embassies to close this situation and press Egypt to break the situation, given our common goal.
Despite the increase in repression, we affirm:
We are peaceful.
We are global.
We will not be silenced.
The siege of Gaza and Palestine must end.
Update 19:30 h el Cairo

Update 18:00 H Cairo
The delegation of the International Network The Daily Left arrived in the second retainer where many of the participants of the global march to Gaza are. Patricio del Corro denounces that the Egyptian authorities held the passports to many of those present.
The will of hundreds of protesters is to stay in that place despite the hostility with which they are treated by the Egyptian government. Reporting the genocide to the Palestinian people is unnegociable. pic.twitter.com/3e4hwqgSdE

Update 16:25 h el Cairo
Official statement: 30 km from Ismail, the police stop all vehicles and force any person with non -Egyptian passport. Several groups of participants are held in the first and second road control position that connects Cairo with Ismail. A sitting in the second control position has begun.
The original objective of the organizers was to arrive in micros to the city of El Arish in the Sinai and walk from there the 50 kilometers to Rafah. This Friday began the trip to the city of Ismaília, on the side of the Suez Canal and last point before entering the Sinai, but the Egyptian government has put seals at different points to stop the protesters. Some are in the city of Ramadon, halfway.

Urgent update: (15:05 h el Cairo)
40 participants from the global march to Gaza have confiscated passports in a control post when leaving Cairo. They are retained under heat and without permission to move. Fifteen are retained in hotels.
These peaceful participants from all over the world come from France, Spain, Canada, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
We urge the Egyptian authorities to collaborate with us in our common goal no longer block our progress unnecessarily. We are a peaceful movement and comply with Egyptian law.
We urge the embassies of the detainees detained to immediately collaborate to ensure their release, so that they can continue marching with us and end the siege of Gaza.
The Egyptian government has the determination that Gaza’s global march is not done. There are military seals throughout the route. We managed to pass one. There are thousands of people around the world trying to get to Gaza by land. It is impressive and historical.

Urgent update: (14:15 h el Cairo)
Several participants of the global march to Gaza have confiscated their passports in a control post when leaving Cairo. We urge the Egyptian authorities to collaborate with us in our common goal no longer hinder our progress unnecessarily. We are a peaceful movement and comply with Egyptian legislation.
We are heading 250 km from the Gaza Strip with thousands of people around the world who are part of the global march to Gaza.
The goal is to get humanitarian aid. If the Egyptian government does not allow it, it will be complicit in the genocidal state of Israel.

Official Communication – Friday, June 13
Participants in the global march to Gaza will meet today peacefully in a camp outside Cairo, continuing with the preparations for a historical and peaceful action to end the siege of Palestine and ask for the opening of a humanitarian corridor through Rafah.
We have not received formal authorization to start the march. However, we remain fully committed to coordinating with the Egyptian authorities and follow all the communication channels to guarantee legal fulfillment. Our intention is not to challenge the law, but to work according to it.
This peaceful concentration includes medical, parliamentarians, lawyers and humanitarian professionals from more than 80 countries that have met with a unified message: the blockade must end
and humanitarian aid must flow freely towards the people of Palestine.
We continue to urge the Egyptian government to allow this peaceful march, which aligns with the declared commitment to restore stability at its border and address the current crisis in Gaza.
