Indian convoy arrived in Gaza yesterday, although reports indicate that Iranian citizens were barred from crossing into Gaza from Egypt. Of the 160 human rights activists involved only 105 were allowed into Gaza. The main bulk of the mission's cargo is arriving by sea and docked in Egypt on Sunday. The Jerusalem Post reports Israeli security sources claiming Iran smuggled 1,000 mortar shells into Gaza, among other munitions. All humanitarian and military aid is of course gratefully received by the besieged Gazans.
A convoy carrying humanitarian aid from India has reached the Gaza Strip with 1,000 tons of food and medical supplies.
The convoy left India in November and traveled through Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon and Syria. The aid shipment was then delivered by sea to Egypt, before reaching Gaza late Sunday.
The aid mission involved more than 100 human rights activists. more
