July 16, 2010

The Gadhafi Foundation, headed by a son of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gadhafi, said the ship had left Greece on Saturday [July 10] carrying 2,000 tons of food and medical supplies. Meanwhile, another Gaza-bound aid convoy left the Jordanian capital Amman on Tuesday [July 13], heading to the Red Sea port city of Aqaba.  

Around 150 activists traveled with the convoy, which includes 25 trucks laden with basic humanitarian aid including food and medicine, as well as an ambulance donated by Jordan Medical Association members, according to Jordanian officials. The convoy is set to travel by boat from Aqaba to the Egyptian port of Nuweibeh and then enter the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing [by land].
