A convoy of 110 vehicles is due to leave London for Gaza to deliver £1m of humanitarian aid.
Hundreds of volunteers will act as drivers during the mission, which is organised by umbrella body Viva Palestina and backed by Muslim groups.
Its 5,000-mile route will pass through France, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.
Respect MP George Galloway, who will help drive the convoy, said a peaceful "intifada" was sweeping the UK.
The Gaza Strip is facing a humanitarian crisis following Israel's recent three-week offensive.
About half of Gaza's population is dependent on UN food aid.
