So the Convoy left from London on the 18th Of September & has made it's way around Europe & into the Gulf. The Land convoy is now waiting in Latikia. They have been waiting on a campsite they set up there for nearly two weeks waiting for the green light to sail into Egypt.

They will set sail to Al Arish on Monday Morning. However, Egypt have now banned 17 people from travelling. They include 10 survivors from the Mavi Mamara, one of whom is a 83 year old man.
5 British people, and 10 from Jordan.

There are over 400 people from 30 different countries & 150 vehicles full of aid.

Pray for the success of this convoy. They are nearly at the final hurdle. The Raffah border isn't very far & our dua's can only help them.

Israel vents fury at Gaza aid ship

When entering Israel's borders it should read, "enter at your own risk". Whether by sea, land or air, todays actions by Israel clearly highlight the urgent need of action by the world and US on how Israel continues to defy internationa law.

Once again with more than ten people dead and dozens injured we witnessed that Israel is willing to use great force whatever the circumstances. This attack on a flotilla aid convoy was not just a provacation but a clear sign of violation of International law.
