Laila El-Haddad stuck in Egypt

I am writing this post to let you know about a women whose blog I have recomended a few times. Her name is Laila El-Haddad and she is a Palestinian mother and journalist who has been living in the states as her husband has been denied the right to live in Palestine. Laila was traveling to visit her family in Palestine and has been stopped in Egypt. She is being refused entry into Palestine because the Rafa checkpoint is closed. She is traveling with her four year old and her 15 month old baby. What is more, her US visa has expired and she was planning on renewing it after her time in Palestine by going through Beirut. She is really in a tough situation. Please, if there is anyone you know to contact do it now! She could really use our help. Here is a link to her blog and here is a link to her Twitter.
