Report from 80 strong vehicle convoy heading for Gaza with aid

Convoy
Convoy


The convoy, including the vans from all over the UK packed with aid, has just crossed the border into Turkey. After a near media blackout of the convoy in Western countries, the Greek media and Mayors came out in force. It is thought that Egypt may try to block the convoy from crossing it's border so the convoy are asking that everyone writes to their local media/MP to protest if this happens.

Video reports, maps, photos and daily written reports are all on the blog for you to get a fully detailed account of the epic adventure as more than 80 vehicles are traveling towards Gaza aiming to arrive on December 27th, the anniversary of the Israeli bombing of Gaza.
