Yipeng Gee, Canadian doctor who has joined the Global march to Gaza and is now stopped at a checkpoint between Cairo and Ismailia by Egyptian authorities says on X: “Everyone’s passport has been taken. We have been told that no one is allowed to cross this checkpoint unless if they are Egyptian. People are not getting their passports back. Some people have been told to get their passports back, they have to get on a bus to the airport to be deported.” Protests have now erupted in the area with over a thousand people.
