"The siege of Gaza, imposed by Israel after Hamas has seized the Palestinian territory last july, ended up abruptly before dawn on Jan 23 when militians blew holes in a border wall and over 350,000 Palestinians swarmed into Egypt.
Some Palestinians craved food - goats were a hot item for purchase in the Egyptian side - and medicine because Israel had blocked all but basic humanitarian aid from Gaza. Businessman and students streamed over, as did scores of brides-to-be, caught on the Egyptian side, who scurried accross to be united withe their future bridegrooms in Gaza. And some, like teacher Abu Bakr, stepped through a blast hole into Egypt simply to "enjoy the air of freedom""TIME magazine
