The Center for Socialist Studies managed to mobilize a small caravan aid that crossed yesterday into Gaza… It’s expected on Thursday another aid caravan will take off to Palestine, but I’m awaiting confirmation, as activists are now trying to coordinate relief efforts and will be meeting today 5:30pm at HMLC.

Press Syndicate demo
There is a demonstration taking place now in front of the Press Syndicate, which started around an hour ago.
I’m told there are 2000+ protesters, largely MBs. And according to Jaikus I’m receiving the MBs are intervening and silencing anyone who’s chanting “Down with Hosni Mubarak” and are segregating the men from women protesters. DISGUSTING! All the Muslim Brotherhood’s moves are in coordination with the police.
UPDATE: Mansoura is under the occupation of police troops, while in Cairo Abu Sehla has made an appearance in front of the Press Syndicate.
UPDATE: A video from the protests:
At least 150,000 Egyptians demonstrate in solidarity with Gaza
I’m watching Al-Jazeera. The channel is reporting that from 150,000 to quarter of a million Egyptians have participated in demonstrations in solidarity with Gaza, yesterday and today.
The protesters are calling for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and severing all diplomatic and economic ties with the Zionist state.
