Egypt Rejects Algerian Aid Convoy to Enter Gaza
Al-Manar
"12/06/2010 Egyptian authorities have refused to allow an Algerian humanitarian aid convoy to enter into the Gaza Strip which has been under a crippling three-year Israeli blockade.
The ship, carrying seven tons of medicine and two tons of powder milk, docked in Egypt's Al-Arish sea port on Friday. Fifteen people onboard the ship including Algerian lawmakers, businessmen and peace activists were seeking to break the Gaza siege by organizing the convoy.
Algerian daily Al-Khabar said that the convoy was prevented from entering Gaza despite a primary agreement signed between the Algerian Foreign Ministry and Egypt in this regard.
The daily added that the Egyptian officials only allowed three Algerian lawmakers to visit Gaza through the Rafah border crossing for a few hours.....
Egypt has joined Israel in imposing a three-year-long blockade on Gaza, sealing its borders with the strip and effectively cutting off all links to the coastal sliver."
