“Road to Hope” Humanitarian Convoy Arrives In Gaza

The humanitarian "Road to Hope" convoy arrived in the Gaza Strip on Thursday carrying 30 vehicles filled with aid and 101 humanitarian aid workers, including eight who survived the "Israeli" attack on the Freedom Flotilla that killed nine activists in May this year. 

The Egyptian Authorities tried to obstruct the convoy but then allowed three members of the convoy to enter Gaza, before allowing the rest through.

The aid convoy crossed France, Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya before heading to Egypt, the final destination before Gaza.

The convoy was stranded for nine days at the Libya-Egypt border as the Egyptian authorities failed to grant permission to allow it to cross into Egypt by land. The issue forced convoy organizers to hire a Greek ship to sail to Egypt.

The Press TV reported that Greek Commandos boarded the ship after the captain sailed to Piraeus Port against the will of Greece.
