CONVOY UPDATE: MAIMED EUROPEANS TO GO TO GAZA
Transmitted by Sameh Habeeb
A number of maimed Europeans announced the willingness to join “Hope For Gaza Convoy” heading to Gaza in May 2009. European Campaign to End Gaza Siege (ECEGS) received a number of requests from disabled people in various EU countries.
Convoy spokesman, Ramy Abdu, said that the participation of maimed people came to stress on the necessity of rescuing the besieged Gazans by all means, especially the disabled people resulted in the last Israeli war.
According to Abdu, the maimed Europeans would participate along with various activists and officials.
He added that,” the convoy will include a number of micro-electrical vehicles for the maimed Gazans. Additionally, hearing and medical kits would be included in the convoy. Besides, around 10 ambulances will be given to Gaza hospitals.”
Bill, a maimed participant from London expressed his extreme happiness and excitement to take part in the action.
“I’m very ready to this trip despite it would be tiring for me. However, this is a message for those maimed in Gaza. I want to show my support for them. This is also a message for the whole world to help the people of Gaza especially sick and disabled people who are in bad need for medical support which is no longer available due to crossings closure.” Said Bill.
Its worth to mention that more people joined the convoy which will be headed by at least 10 European MPs and a number of peace activists. The convoy according to ECEGS carries more symbolic than political signs for the people of Gaza. What will be donated for maimed Gazans through the convoy will be symbolic compared with strong needs in all life aspects.

The 27th of December 2008, for 22days and nights, we ALL watched with horror and dismay, as we witnessed mass murder and carnage on a grand scale.
