If William Can't Come to the Mountain: Chapter One (revised) on Vimeo

By Maurice Jacobsen in Gaza

In mid February, 2010 a Congressional delegation attempted to enter Gaza on a fact finding mission. The delegation, headed by Congressman William Delahunt was denied access to the territory by the Israeli government.

This video series is a virtual tour of the Gaza Strip, a tour the delegation might have had, indeed should have had.

Here we visit the town of Rafah on the border with Egypt. We visit the mayor of the municipality, Essia El Najar and talk with workers in the tunnels. Today the tunnels bring in virtually all the goods on the shelves of Gaza, although they are under constant danger of closure.
