US EditionEgypt Halts Global March to Gaza, Deports Hundreds of Activists
- Canadian demonstrators and over 200 foreign activists were detained or deported in Cairo in June 2025 during the Global March to Gaza to protest Israel's blockade.
- The detentions followed Egypt's insistence that foreign delegations must have official permits due to security concerns amid warnings from Israel to prevent activist entry near Gaza.
- Participants organized a 50-kilometer march from El-Arish to the Egyptian border with Gaza to call for humanitarian aid access, joined by thousands of volunteers representing over 40 countries.

- The detentions and deportations limited activist access to Gaza, underscoring ongoing tensions that sustain the blockade and complicate international pressure for aid delivery to the war-affected enclave.
