Messages and flowers hung by activists of 'Gaza Freedom Marchers' are seen on the Qasr al Nil bridge in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday, Dec. 27, 2009, marking one year since the Israeli invasion of Gaza. The Gaza Freedom Marchers, coming from 43 countries, had hoped to be in Gaza to commemorate the war, but access to Rafah is being denied by the Egyptian authorities.
