The “Miles Of Smiles 17” solidarity convoy managed to enter the Gaza Strip, on Thursday evening, through the Rafah Border Terminal between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
113 convoy members from different Arabic and foreign countries entered the coastal region to deliver 25 wheel-chair accessible vans, 50 tons of wheat, and 40 tons of medications.
Sources at the Palestinian side of the Rafah Border Terminal stated that Egypt rarely allows food supplies into the Gaza Strip via Rafah as it usually demands that all food supplies should go through that Karem Abu Salem “Kerem Shalom” Crossing.
The sources added that the supplies were allowed through as part of new decisions made by Egypt’s President, Mohammad Morsi, aiming at breaking the siege on Gaza.
It is worth mentioning that, although in many cases delayed by Egypt, all Miles of Smiles convoys have been able to enter the Gaza Strip. more
