We met with the head of Egyptian Red Crescent Society, Ahmed Orabi, to deliver the tents. He thanked the Houston community for their contribution and assured us with formal documentation that our trucks would pass through the Eloga border crossing since the Rafah border was reserved for medical supply deliveries. Although I am Gazan, I have never actually been inside of Gaza. However, this mission has given me the sense of a direct connection with the people back home, and through our efforts I feel them closer to me now more than ever.
Sister we are all Palestinians now, we are all Gazans. You are not alone
