UK aid convoy Viva Palestina makes it to Gaza

After trekking across two continents, seven countries and more than 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles) a British convoy loaded with aid destined for Gaza reached Egypt’s Rafah border Monday following extensive border negotiations with Israel.109 Viva Palestina trucks laden with medical aid and escorted by 500 people, headed by British MP George Galloway, crossed the Rafah border into Gaza in the final leg of a 24-day journey to reach thousands of destitute and displaced Palestinians in war-torn Gaza just in time for Prophet Mohammed’s birthday.
