Description
A volunteer flashes the victory sign upon his arrival to the Libyan capital of Tripoli along with an aid convoy heading for Gaza on February 28, 2009. The convoy, which left London on February 14 with more than one million pounds (1.4 million dollars, 1.1 million euros) worth of aid, will travel 5,000 miles (8,000 kms) through France, Spain and North Africa, before crossing from Egypt into Gaza at Rafah in early March. Organised by the Viva Palestine umbrella group, hundreds of volunteers are driving the convoy, which includes 12 ambulances, a fire engine, a boat and trucks full of medicines, tools, clothes, blankets and gifts for children.
