US EditionConvoy Arrives in Libya en Route to Gaza to Challenge Israel’s Blockade on Humanitarian Aid
- On Tuesday, the Soumoud convoy of about 1,500 activists arrived in Zawiya, Libya, traveling by vehicles en route to Gaza via Egypt's Rafah Crossing.
- The convoy aims to perform a symbolic act to break Israel’s longstanding and tightened blockade of Gaza rather than delivering humanitarian aid directly.
- Organisers stated the convoy includes participants from Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya and is supported by local groups, with security escorts deployed in Libya.
- The IPC reports that famine threatens nearly half a million individuals in Gaza, where more than 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 2023 amid a blockade causing severe food shortages.
- The convoy intends to proceed through Egypt towards Gaza, with organisers prepared to remain camped indefinitely if prevented from crossing, marking the start of a larger campaign opposing the blockade.
