The convoy is made up of at least 1,500 people, including activists and supporters from Algeria and Tunisia, with more expected to join from Libya. The group arrived in Zawiya city in Libya Tuesday and plans to reach Gaza via Egypt’s Rafah Crossing, traveling by cars and buses.

Tunisian civil society groups behind the convoy said their aim is to demand ‘the immediate lifting of the unjust siege’ on Gaza.
