The British MP George Galloway is expected to arrive in Gaza by Wednesday leading a convoy of 255 US citizens that are bringing humanitarian aid to the impoverished strip.
The Gaza de facto government’s commission on delegations made known that Galloway’s convoy will try to enter the Strip through the Egyptian border crossing in Rafah. They will arrive to the border crossing on Tuesday evening. Galloway’s last visit to Gaza was in March. During that visit the British lawmaker donated a fleet of ambulances and 25,000 British pounds to the de facto government in Gaza.Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has travelled to Egypt to join Galloway’s convoy. McKinney had just been deported by Israel last week for her presence on the Free Gaza boats, that were sailing to Gaza with hard needed humanitarian aid.

Press TV reported today on a story at Ma'an agency that George Galloway is organising another convoy to the Strip, this time with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. I can't find confirmation of this report at the Ma'an website at this time or at Viva Palestina, although a date for the next UK convoy has been announced - 4 October 2009.
Venezuela broke off diplomatic relations with Israel when it killed at least 1,400 people in its recent war on Gaza.
