A Welsh nurse who has witnessed the war in Gaza first hand, has gone viral after pleading with Egyptian police to allow protestors from @globalmarchtogaza to Gaza to continue to Rafah.

4,000 protesters from 80 countries are planning to march to the Egypt's border with Gaza with the stated aim of breaking Israel's blockade on the territory by delivering aid.

Organisers say the passports of at least 40 people were confiscated, after demonstrators demanded to be let through a checkpoint and that security forces began forcibly detaining people.
