Despite efforts to prevent ‘Viva Palestina’ from breaking a long-term blocked on the Gaza Strip the aid convoy has entered the coastal sliver.
The convoy which made its way across Europe and North Africa arrived in the besieged strip on Monday, Press TV reported.
On Sunday, several activists traveling with the group were injured after the convoy was vandalized by a number of attackers in Egypt.
British lawmaker, George Galloway, who is traveling with the convoy, said that Egyptian authorities did not protect the convoy despite their promises. “They are blocking us inside, but they don’t protect us.”
The convoy of peace activists including Press TV presenter Yvonne Ridley and film maker Hassan Ghani left London on February 14.
