This is the first report on the Beeb since the convoy left - with the exception of the 'terror' arrests. They probably noticed the rest of the world reporting on the convoy and thought they better catch up, despite their pro-Israel biases.


From the BBC
The border between Morocco and Algeria, closed for almost 15 years, has been temporarily reopened for an aid convoy heading towards the Gaza Strip.

The convoy of 99 vehicles, which left from the UK loaded with medicine, food, clothes and toys, crossed into Algeria near the Moroccan town of Oujda.

The frontier was shut in 1994 after Morocco accused Algeria of involvement in an attack on a hotel in Marrakech.

The convoy is due to cross from Egypt to Gaza in early March
