A solidarity convoy in support of Palestine departed this Sunday from Algeria with about 500 volunteers to join the citizen caravan from Tunisia tomorrow, Monday, which will begin a journey to Gaza with the intention of breaking the blockade of the strip.

Both convoys with humanitarian aid will cross Libya and Egypt to the Rafah crossing, which connects with the Palestinian strip, as a land initiative in support of the Freedom Flotilla that “is a few miles away from Gaza and continues its route with activists and aid despite the threats of the occupation,” the organizers announced.

The Algerian “Caravan of Resistance” has the humanitarian objective of joining “all the free peoples of the world to demand the lifting of the unjust and criminal blockade against our brothers in Gaza,” said one of the organizers, Yahia Sarri, on his social networks.

In Tunisia, a citizen coalition announced at a press conference the departure tomorrow of another caravan with a thousand Tunisians as part of the land solidarity convoy to the border between Egypt and the Palestinian strip.

The initiative, led by the “Joint Action Coordination for Palestine,” is supported by labor unions, doctors, journalists, lawyers, students, and political organizations.

After two months of blockade of the strip, Israel announced the distribution of food through the Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (GHF), supported by the United States, which, according to international organizations and the UN, does not respect basic humanitarian principles.

International organizations and the UN used to be primarily responsible for the distribution of this aid until Israel decided to veto all shipments to the enclave in early March.
