The great aid convoy from Britian to Gaza has now grown to 220 vehicles including ambulances, buses, a boat and a fire engine.
Vehicles delayed in Britain joined up in Tunisia and more joined from Libya. Further vehicles from the Justice for Palestine campaign in Scotland are also expected shortly having travelled through Syria and Jordan.
The convoy now stretches some three miles in transit. It is expected to reach El Arich on Saturday.
