Artery of Life Convoy Makes It into Gaza

Humanitarian and medical supplies, loaded in truck and vans, will be sent to Gaza via the Rafah Terminal and the Al Oja Terminal likely this Saturday or Sunday.

The activists were received by thousands of residents who chanted slogans welcoming them and slamming "Israel's" illegal siege on Gaza.

One of the activists said that "after a long five weeks trip, we managed to enter Gaza", adding "Gaza deserves support and all sorts of respect and solidarity".

He also said that he will be willing to return to Gaza with another flotilla.

"Next time we will return in thousands, not in hundreds", he added, "We are willing to sacrifice for Palestine".

It is worth mentioning that Qatar intervened with Egypt in order to facilitate the entry of the activists and the supplies.

The Artery of Life was supposed to sail from Syria to Egypt last Monday, but several complications and obstacles occurred during talks with the Egyptian Authorities as issue that pushed the organizers to organize two flights from Syria to Egypt on Wednesday evening.

The convoy carries 140 vehicles and trucks filled with humanitarian and medical supplies.
