Thousands from Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya  will set off to break the siege, coinciding with the efforts of the march in Egypt and the Freedom Flotilla, set to arrive within 48 hours.

Thousands of people will attempt to break the siege on Gaza from Egypt. From June 12th to 15th, they will embark on a three day desert trek from Cairo to Rafah, while an Egyptian team will manage food and other accomodations.

In addition to the march to break the siege from Egypt, a massive convoy is launching today, starting in Tunisia, to break the siege on Gaza.

Thousands from Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya  will set off to break the siege, coinciding with the efforts of the march in Egypt and the Freedom Flotilla, set to arrive within 48 hours.

Nearly 10,000 people have signed up. Organizers say that it is the first real land convoy to Gaza since the start of the war, and that its goal is more than just delivering aid, but to break the siege.

In Algeria, a large popular sendoff was held for the Resilience (Sumud) Convoy, a massive land march in which thousands of volunteers will cross from Algeria to Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt, eventually arriving at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. In each country that the convoy passes through, more volunteers are expected to join.

The Resilience Convoy aims to break the siege on the Gaza Strip and bring humanitarian aid to millions of struggling Palestinians in the face of brutal IOF siege and aggression.
