Lauren Booth left Gaza for Egypt via the Rafah crossing on Saturday. According to AFP:
The crossing — the only gateway to Gaza not controlled by Israel — was opened Saturday to allow 1,500 Gazans, mostly Muslim pilgrims on their way to Mecca, to leave the impoverished territory of 1.5 million people.
Booth, who writes for the Mail on Sunday, was free to leave the strip at the end of August along with the other protesters. Her month-long stay didn’t include a single public gesture or show of support for Gaza’s other famous foreigner, Gilad Shalit.
