Activists push for access to Gaza border ahead of international march

From Gaza, we’re now going across the border to Egypt. Some 1,300 activists from 43 different countries are now in Cairo preparing for a march to Gaza. The march is aimed to bring attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. So far, Egyptian authorities have refused to grant access to the Gaza border, but a breakthrough came today when officials agreed to allow a small group of 100 activists from the peace group, Code Pink, to go to the border.

We're joined by Madea Benjamin, cofounder of Global Exchange and CODEPINK: Women for Peace, one of the primary organizers of the march this week. She joins us by cell phone from Cairo.
