Cairo, June 9 (RHC)-- A major land convoy comprised of North African volunteers has been organized to head to Palestine through Egypt to break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The land convoy, consisting of thousands of volunteers from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, will depart on Monday towards Gaza to demand an end to Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, break the siege, and deliver humanitarian aid.
The "Resilience Convoy" aims to go to Cairo, and then to the Rafah border crossing with Gaza, to deliver aid in a joint effort with a freedom flotilla currently at sea heading to Gaza.
The convoy includes union and political figures, as well as human rights activists, athletes, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and members of youth organizations, among others.
In the meantime, the Palestinian people in Gaza have been suffering immensely from the Israeli siege, famine, and war crimes for more than 20 months.
The Israeli regime launched its genocidal war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Since then, it has killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to health authorities in Gaza, and flattened much of the coastal territory.
