Hundreds more protesters are expected to arrive at the border crossing throughout the day.
The protesters are demanding that all humanitarian aid entering the war-torn strip be cut off until the hostages are freed and returned to Israel.
In a statement, the group of protesters say they walked a roundabout way in order to avoid roadblocks set up to prevent their arrival.
