The Governmental Committee for Breaking the Siege in the Gaza Strip reported on Friday that the European Hope Aid Convoy is expected to arrive in the Gaza Strip on Sunday morning.

The Committee, based in Gaza, reported Friday that the convoy, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, would dock at Bour Sa’id Port in Egypt on Friday, and then would drive towards the Rafah border terminal.

It is expected to reach the terminal on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. The committee stated that it conducted all preparations and coordinated with all related authorities to ensure that the convoy makes it into Gaza.

Hamdi Shaath, head of the Committee, issued a press release on Friday stating that visiting activists and leaders would be touring Gaza to observe the destruction caused by the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip, and the negative impacts of the Israeli siege on the residents.

Shaath added that the visiting delegates would also tour agricultural lands uprooted and shelled by the army, and would also visit medical facilities as the siege emptied Gaza hospitals and medical centers from basic supplies and equipment.

They would also visit some institutions that deal with rehabilitation of physically challenged residents and other rehabilitation and social centers.

Shaath said the wheelchairs and medical supplies are urgently needed in the Gaza Strip.

This is a Phone interview with Gerry MacLochlainn (sinnfein) regarding the difficulties faced by the convoy. This video was published on May 20, 2009
