After the success of the UK convoy in February and the US convoy in July, the next Viva Palestina convoy was a bigger international gathering delivering more aid, of higher value, to the people of Gaza. This time the route took us the other way around the Mediterranean through Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and again through the Rafah crossing in Egypt.

 

On the December 5th '09 convoy Slough 2 Gaza sent two Mercedes sprinter vans with over £500 000 worth of high-end medical equipment. The equipment was donated in the UK and Italy by surgical team MIST and in Jordan by FACT International.
