The Viva Palestina humanitarian convoy enters the Gaza Strip, breaking the
deadly Israeli blockade imposed on 1.5 million Palestinians for a second
time.

The American aid convoy carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
supplies for the people of Gaza crossed the Rafah border on Wednesday upon
receiving permission from Cairo after a 10-day delay.

The 200 activists are allowed to stay in the coastal territory only for 24
hours, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Viva Palestina activists, all Americans, including Charles Barron, a New
York City Councilman, say that they have been stranded on the Egyptian side
of the Rafah crossing for about 10 days despite earlier arrangements.

The humanitarian aid convoy consisting of 50 vehicles is the second
organized by British Member of Parliament and Press TV presenter George
Galloway.
