1. CNN had this on earlier.

Said that the mosques had been calling for food, water, and blood donations and that there was a caravan of cars going to Fallujah. Sunnis and Shiites are coordinating and Clancy made the statement that the people said the Americans don't understand; that they are all Iraqis.

4. Thousands of Iraqis marched the 30 miles from Baghdad to Fallujah

........

Thousands of Iraqis marched the 30 miles from Baghdad to Fallujah to deliver food and medical supplies to its residents, under nighttime curfew and surrounded by U.S. forces since early Monday morning. A Sunni clerics committee organized the march.

Marchers — carrying colorful flags and banners reading, "Sons of the great Fallujah, we are with you on the road of jihad (holy war) and victory" — came upon the Marine cordon on the western entrance to the city.

After searching the vehicles for weapons, the Marines allowed two ambulances full of medical supplies, two minibuses carrying vegetables and other food and a dozen cars with Sunni clerics and officials to enter the city.
