"International activists carrying medications, food and aid supplies to the Gaza Strip, continued their protest at the Egyptian side of the Rafah border terminal demanding to be allowed into the coastal region.
Egyptian peace activists accompanying the international supporters stated that an American supporter started a hunger strike.
Four French activists, three Americans, two Egyptian reporters and an Italian national started the protest on June 13.
A German woman married to a Palestinian living in Gaza, and her six children, also joined the protest, as they are demanding to be allowed into the coastal region.
A Palestinian-Belgian man carrying insulin to his diabetic daughter in Gaza joined the protest on Monday. The man has not been able to see his daughter since several years due to the siege.
Furthermore, a Palestinian-Swedish family; the father, mother and their seven children, also joined the protest demanding to enter Gaza.
Egyptian security officers tried to force the protestors away from the border area, and even threatened to evacuate them by force."
