A lifeline for Gaza
"Three weeks of barbaric Israeli bombardment has laid waste to Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have had their lives reduced to rubble. They have lost everything - their loved ones, their homes, their hospitals, their schools, their fields, their university, and any semblance of normal family life.
Now is the time to deliver the help they so desperately need – medical supplies, food, clothing, toiletries, building materials, tools, clean water, furniture, computers, toys, schoolbooks – in fact anything and everything that we take for granted, the people of Gaza are crying out for to rebuild their lives.
That is why I have gathered people together from cities, towns and organisations across the UK to form a convoy of material aid – a lifeline for Gaza, headed by a fire-engine, packed full with donated firefighting equipment. You can fundraise and collect in your locality, fill a truck - fill ten trucks - and join us en route.
We will all assemble in London on Saturday 14 February, on Valentine's Day, to set off to Palestine, journeying through Paris, Madrid and Casablanca, then across north Africa to Rafah. We will travel with speed, with hope and with love.
You can help to send a Valentine to Palestine in so many ways. You can donate a truck. You can collect supplies. You can offer your services as a driver, a mechanic, a translator, or volunteer in our London office. You send us money. You can talk to friends, families and colleagues, to publicise this appeal and garner even more support.
The people of Gaza cannot wait while governments wrangle and apportion blame. They need action, not platitudes - they need a lifeline now. Support the convoy.Viva Palestina!"
