About 100 US activists with tons of medical supplies arrived in Egypt on Sunday on their way to Gaza, hoping to break the deadly Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the territory --home to 1.5 million Palestinians.

According to a recent report by the International Committee of the Red Cross, the crippling Israeli-led blockade, which has prevented supplies from reaching Gaza, has created a dire humanitarian situation in the region.
The humanitarian agency says seriously ill patients are not receiving the treatment they need and thousands of Gazans whose homes were destroyed during Israel's three-week Christmas war are still without shelter.
Last week, Israeli forces detained a group of foreign activists, including former US congresswoman and Nobel Prize laureate Cynthia McKinney, as they were heading to Gaza on a humanitarian mission and confiscated tons of medicine - as well as toys, crayons and olive trees - destined for the besieged people of Gaza.
