A 'great day' in Morocco

The convoy is now resting - and what a well-deserved rest - in the Moroccan capital of Rabat.

George Galloway has sent texts which say:

"A great day. Local kids gave us Moroccoan flags with messages for Palestinian children. We've had meals with the locals in Rabat. People have been donating money in the street."

The convoy has been getting some very positive media coverage in Morocco.

Back at in Britain, the Viva Palestina team have been receiving messages of support from across the world - from Nigeria to France, Canada and the USA to Austria, Norway and countries of the Middle East

We recieved this message this evening from Morocco.

"Hi. What is actually amazing is what the convoy has undertaken to do. Please let Mr. George Gallaway know how much we admire his initiative. Our fellow country people cannot but see, in this action, some real embodiment of the great values of bravery, heroism and humanitarianism - and hailing the convoy on its arrival in our country the way Mr. Gallaway's text describes, is the least our people can do to express their deep respect and gratitude for such an initiative.
Many thanks to you all."
Faty, Morocco

Our online appeal for further donations for the convoy is now a third of it's way to it's £50,000 target. Thank you to all who have donated. But please continue to tell your friends, family and workmates about the convoy and ask them to support this historic effort to raise the issue of Palestinian solidarity across the globe. In four days we've had 40,000 visitors to our website - which is amazing - but it does mean that there are still millions who do not know about us. So please forward our messages to your address book and ask your friends to sign up for our email alerts.

Apologies: We had hoped to bring you more information from the convoy as it made it's way through Europe. Unfortunately the speed of the journey has made uploading images rather more complicated than we had expected. We will try and give you as much imformation as we can. In the meantime please visit the blogs (look in the right hand column of the website )for the latest uploaded news from convoy members.
